		<title>I&#8217;m a Loser</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not talking about the Beatles&#8217; song, but &#8220;The Biggest Loser.&#8221;
I started watching the show online as a matter of research for this  blog. I mean really, how can I blog about weight control issues without  knowing what this show is about?
It didn&#8217;t take long for me to form strong opinions about the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Food and Anxiety: The Vicious Cycle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I am hungry, I feel nervous. I&#8217;m like a squirrel, darting around to find a nut. In the kitchen, when I am impatient to eat what I&#8217;m cooking, I get butterflies in my stomach. (There&#8217;s an old Joan Rivers joke from back in the day when Elizabeth Taylor was fat and microwave ovens were [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do We Need a &#8216;Fattitude Adjustment?&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Here&#8217;s a blog post on the Huffington Post that I wholeheartedly agree with:
Do We Need a Fattitude Adjustment?
Read  the Article at HuffingtonPost
Here&#8217;s the comment I wrote:
Amazing, the diversity of viewpoints here. Some questions not yet considered:
&#8211; I agree that parents&#8217; behavior is at issue for childhood obesity. But &#8220;lack of willpower&#8221; doesn&#8217;t explain the [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Defense of Fat: The Fat Side</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A quick add-on to today&#8217;s post.
As the nation starts to address obesity as an epidemic and a social issue, here&#8217;s a revealing blog post from the fat side.
Does the Obesity Task Force [of Tennessee] Even Have Any Obese People On It?

And here&#8217;s an obesity defense group:

		<title>In Defense of Fat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning on NPR&#8217;s Morning Edition, I was half-listening to a report that Air France has decided to allow large people to occupy two seats on a plane for free. This is a reversal of a policy to charge for the extra seat, which had earned the company &#8220;the ire of obesity defense groups,&#8221; said [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Light Bulb</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My posts lately have been newsy, I admit&#8211;a bit of a departure for Weigh-2-Go, as my 10 readers will attest. Where am I going with this?
There&#8217;s some magical mysterious factor(s) for weight loss that a gazillion people are trying to figure out.
Even people who have lost weight can&#8217;t usually articulate these factor(s) well enough to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Silence of the Yams</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got that line from Michael Pollan&#8217;s In Defense of Food. It cracked me up.
Just as I was agonizing over the Diet Wars&#8211;in which the low-fat gurus battle the low-carb gurus, and neither side has yet emerged victorious&#8211;Pollan makes an excellent case that we need not to fight for carbs, fats, vitamins, antioxidants, or any [...]]]></description>

		<title>Salt and Chemicals to Blame for Obesity: Really?!?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[





Really?!? (This is not Dawn, nor me for that matter.)



I want to start perpetuate a new catch phrase: &#8220;Really?!?&#8221;
I think I picked this up from Dawn. When someone doesn&#8217;t get the real point, or is hung up on the weaker argument, or comes at an issue with an incomprehensible perspective, Dawn creates a pregnant pause, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jamie Oliver: Watch This Guy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many thanks to Cyndi for posting on Facebook this link to Jamie Oliver&#8217;s TED talk. I was glad to see it.
Jamie Oliver&#8217;s TED Prize wish: Teach every  child about food
http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/jamie_oliver.html
Jamie&#8217;s message is powerful and well timed alongside Michelle Obama&#8217;s campaign against childhood obesity. The upshot: One-third of America&#8217;s children are obese, and their projected [...]]]></description>

		<title>Against Childhood Obesity: Whose Campaign Is It?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

This week&#8217;s Newsweek contains a series of articles about Michelle Obama&#8217;s campaign against childhood obesity. This is a timely and important issue for the First Lady to adopt&#8211;one that will surely affect the health&#8211;and health care costs&#8211;of Americans.
President Obama has issued a memorandum to create a Task Force that will work on: &#8220;(a) ensuring access to [...]]]></description>
