i think its rather ironic and funny how a nutrionist 's last name is BACON... LOL

@Timpler10 such a prejudiced comment! You'd never say that about a black person. Why is it socially acceptable to put down fat people? Linda is not saying a person won't lose weight if they engage in healthier behaviours. She's saying for us to shift focus and make healthy behaviours our goal. It's impossible for most to reach the socially glorified "thin ideal" & that's where we set everyone up for failure - when they don't achieve the thin ideal they give up, or worse go on an unhealthy diet

HEREDITARY. HEREDITARY. HEREDITARY.

There is NOTHING the fradulent $100 BILLION commercial diet industry can do or say to overturn what GENUINE SCIENCE has discovered : Namely,that OBESITY IS CLEARLY GENETIC, HERIDTARY AND BIOLOGICAL .

Our body weights are UNCONSCIOUSLY controlled and DEFENDED. Humans CAN NEVER consciously balance the MILLIONS of calories in gested to expended anywhere near as acuurately as THE BODY CAN.NORMAL poeples weights REMAIN STABLE. FACT.

FREE WILL IS AN ILLUSION.

YOU are lean because you are naturally not fat. The SAME with me. Your behavior dfoes NOT affect your weight OTHER THAN YOUR UPPER end of set point. THAT'S IT. No further reach.,

When someone gains 100 pounds SOMETHING IN THE UNCONSCIOUS SYSTEM WENT VERY HAYWIRE. Even if the system is thrown off by 1 %, a 100 pound gain can occur as HARVARD SCIENTISTS POINT OUT.

DO THE RESEARCH. No more comments from me.

[Razwell]

I am done engaging you . WATCH URGELT'S OBESITY VIDEO. Debate him. He will WIPE THE FLOOR WITH YOU.

URGELKT'S OBESITY VIDEO - FABULOUS

URGELT IS MANY , MANY TIOMES SMARTER THAN Lyle McDonald and Anthony Colpo types........

[Razwell]

Do you choose SCIENCE or BELIEFS about obesity ? DO THE RESEARCH. You have not, or you would not be saying the things you say.

Obesity is as genetic as height and sceince has SOUNDLY established this.

YES, DAVID SMITH IS A VICTIM.

A healthy non medicated Michael Jordan who gained 12 pounds is not a victim, just a product of not playing in the NBA anymore BUT OBESE PEOPLE ARE VICTIMS.

ALSO to note Lance Armstrong an Michael Jordan are NATURALLY LEAN individuals

[Razwell]

As I have said : THE INFORMATION IN THIS VIDEO IS SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE AND IT IS FROM DR. LINDA BACON, a Ph.D. in body weight regulation.

She is educated and MANY, MANY STEPS ABOVE those UNeducated DIPSHITS Lyle McDonald and Anthony Colpo.

[Razwell]

No, science has demonstrated that "the right amount of food and exercise" will NOT solve obesity. Obesity is a FAR MORE COMPLEX PHENOMENON than that.

Exercise and diet FAIL in studies- all the time. They are NOT the solution for fat loss. Only health maintenance.

Drugs which target fat cell regulation and nanobot technology in the future to sekk out and destroy fat cells are REAL SOLUTIONS. CURRENTLY MANUEL URIBE AND DAVID SMITH ARE STUCK MORBIDLY OBESE.

[Razwell]

First of all, the are NOT "PSEUDO facts that I expect you to automatically believe". I TOLD you the SOURCE of my information. It's Dr. Jeffrey Friedman and his colleauges, and other scientists on his level ( which there are only a few) It is UP TO YOU to do PROPER research on this.

You are plain wrong and ignorant. Obesity is BIOLOGICAL AND GENETIC. Just because portion sizes increase DOES NOT MEAN naturally leaner poeple will become very fat. It makes NO SCIENTIFIC SENSE .

[supermario0192837465]

@Razwell You give me all these pseudo facts without any explanation and expect me just to accept them? Like i said, there are people who gain weight a lot more easily (Pacific islanders for example), but with the right amount of food and exercise, that shouldn't be a problem. You are really hell bent on getting people to believe that fat people are just victims of cruel fate and not part of their problem, I think you are fat. By the way, proofread before you post, there are a lot of typos.

[Razwell]

Lastly, KNOW what the DATA actually says before making your assertions. THIN people are EXACTLY the same as they were 20 years back in 1990.

ONLY obese people are a bit heavier now than 20 years back BY ONLY - 6 pounds .

There is NO " EPIDEMIC."

And the CDC made ANOTHER mistake . 26,000 peole die annually from complication sof obesity NOT- NOT 400, 000

LINDA BACON and Dr. Jeffrey Friedman COVER ALL OF THIS.

YOU arte the one who is misinformed. I KNOW my shit.
