while i agree and certainly quality is going to have an overall affect on body comp, people that are 50+ lbs overweight (75% of the OT) should prolly not sit here and act like the reason is hfcs. is it one of the reasons...certainly...but that huge plate of rice and gravy every night is not helping.
