So they think that they can solve the country's obesity problems do they?

Praise the Lard.

'The Obesity Crisis' is surely 'The Lack of Intelligence Crisis'  in 99% of the cases.

it's a weighty problem and no mistake.

Its evolution ,what Darwin predicted is coming true- Survival of the Fattest.No mug that Darwin.

Somebody told ne yesterday they'd gained seven pounds through lack of exercise.

I said ''you don't want to exercise, you'll wear yourself out.

You need your glands or your hormones seeing to.

I remember reading Nigel Lawson's diet book 30 years ago as I attempted to shed a few pounds ... I wasn't badly overweight but 7 pounds would have made me even more adorable (according to my mirror!)

Anyway Nigel was a fat ba$tard and had slimmed down impressively.
His most compelling point was that

YOU RARELY SEE OLD PEOPLE THAT ARE FAT.

Darwin knew

Yes a lot of film stars live to ripe old ages.
They've spent their whole lifetimes trying to look good. Which usually means looking after themselves and keeping trim.

They say you can't have your cake and eat it.

Nobody told the chubbies.

Been trying to lose weight since Feb.

Have gained 3 pounds.

Have exercise 6 days a week.

Tricky business. My conclusions are as follows:

Exercise makes no diff. It may even add to weight (muscle gain).
Eating fish,chicken and veg makes no diff.
Cutting out one meal a day makes no diff. May even slow metabolism.

Key: all down to individual metabolism. No 'one size fits all solution'.

When listening to all the excuses for gaining weight my old muvver used to say "there were no fat people in Belsen"

The guards?
