It Officially Costs More To Be Overweight Than A Smoker In America

[Fawke Em]

2. While I agree with most of your point, here,

I find that I cannot seem to take off the 20 pounds I need to lose now that I'm peri-menopausal. This despite the fact that I PREFER fresh veggies and fruit and lean meats and the occasional sweet or bread AND that I walk daily and ride an exercise bike as often as my schedule will allow.

I wonder how many of our "fresh" fruits and veggies are so genetically engineered that it makes it damn-near impossible for people to either lose weight or NOT develop Type 2 diabetes.

The old adage of "eat less, move more" may have worked in my younger years, but I fully believe the build-up of all these chemicals, odd genetic mutations and additives have rendered that adage moot.
