re: United States of Obesity

I've watched over 50 episodes of 'My 600 pound life.' The stories are all very similar. The most universal points:

1. They become bedridden because the legs are the first to go. Human legs are not designed to carry 600 pounds.

2. They must have enablers to buy the food.

3. Most of their food is not protein (meat). It's carbs (cookies, cake, pies, soda).

4. When given a diet from the doctor they fail to lose weight and lie.. "I followed your diet. Really."
