Is being fat a state of mind?

Julienne said: "I was just wondering if anyone here thought that part of being fat is just a mindset? I know it may sound "new agey" but wonder if there is any truth to it?"

Things that don't have dollar signs attached to them, like quality of life, life expectancy, depression, and lowered self esteem. A lot of schools are going away from offering physical education classes and this can't help kids either. Education and physical activity are so important in a kids life, and video games and TV seem to be a lot more prevelent. TV introduces food marketing as soon as a child can open up his eyes. Introduction to the "Wide World of Food""

Darren said: "It's definitely time to take a stand. I really believe people have no idea what or how to eat anymore. So much mis-information has been spread that people aren't sure what to do at all."
