We've promoted this fat life style in America for years. Our motto has been the bigger the better. That's why we have phat,oops! fat houses,fat cars,fat pockets,and fat asses to go along with it.

It's time to promote less is more.

I'm not so sure about that SPM because if we do the anorexic epidemic will rise more than is already is. We have to find the in between and I doubt that is at all possible.

That depends, Sweetpea. it's no more healthy to be grossly underweight than it is to be grossly overweight. Health is what we should push for.

I had a union meeting to go to tonight after work. Not knowing when the meeting would be over and not being comfortable driving at dusk, my husband picked me up from work and took me to the meeting. Since we had time, once we found where the meeting was being held, we went to a cafe for dinner.

We ordered from the smaller menu and were very glad we did after we saw the size of the meals offered on the regular menu. The portions were huge from the regular menu. Mine, from the smaller menu, was more than I could eat.

Perhaps, when going to dinner, we asked for smaller portions, that would help. Certainly, serving smaller portions at home would help.

Just as morbid obesity is a psychological disorder, so is anorexia. They're the ends of the bell curve--the outward limits of the swings of the pendulum.

But, we, the people, can drive the market by not buying unhealthy non-foods, can't we?
