TwoKnives, thank you for your advise. This is exactly my approach to my patients now. I am very careful and very selective on who I give the talk to. If I sense any resistance, I change the subject immediately (because I know it's a lost cause).

I was just being railed up about the whole thing. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Thanks for reading through the whole discussion, and thank you on your congratulations.

I do enjoy "Scrubs", but I am working so much that I hardly have time to watch the show. I don't like medical drama (i.e. "E.R.", however. They remind me too much of work. I have enough drama going on in my real life to watch it on television.

Thank god I'm doing architecture- whats the worse that can happen? I say their house is ugly- they can't sue for that!

I think fat people need a wakeup call, but our world with its political correctness has stopped any chance of that!

Satch, do you think that If the lady had had a heart attack and the doctor DIDN'T warn her, she would have sued as well? I do. People are just after your money when you're a doctor, unless they're decent folks, which seem to be getting very rare indeed.

I hate political correctness too, why do we have to walk upon eggshells all the time because we may offend someone? What happened to my freedom of speech?

i am highly athletic about 5'6'' and weigh in around 52 kilograms. so im pretty healthy! but infact when i was in Washington over the summer i didnt see that many fat people. i saw a few kids who were bigger but certainly not obese. i saw one or two huge adults but for 60% of the American population supposedly overweight i didnt see that many.
i definately think that Britain is catching up to the US on the fat scale though. ive seen quite a few huge people since i got back.

rival, you must have spent your time in front of a gym.

The vast majority of people I see everyday on the street are overweight. And I am not talking about just a bit heavy, I am talking about people who are my height but weigh twice as much.

This imperial always confuses me, luckily it isnt used in science.

Same here ... And all my life I thought there was something wrong with me because I never really got the hang of the system ... then I start taking science courses and realize: it wasn't me ... it was everyone else!

I also noticed that, the US uses unique measurements that aren't in the imperial system as well (cups, for example. Imperial would use Pints. And of course, metric uses simple volume, which is whatever liter-unit cubed)

That's the thing I like about metric though, the use and connections between unit and type of measurement are simple. Unlike the Imperial system ... which can use Ounces for volume AND weight. It's not the same "ounce", but what the hell?

But, sadly, it is used in many sciences ... just not internationally. Nasa is a good example. PSI, MPH, are some examples of commonly used imperial systems used in sciences here.

I am bringing up "the fat thread" again, just to ask a question. I found this picture and I was wondering: Is this what everyone else thinks of america? Is everyone REALLY laughing at us all the time?

Because obesity is quickly coming close to smoking in terms of how many it kills, I wonder when people will start being berrated about being fat like people are lectured for smoking.

I wonder if the slogan "No fat chicks" will become like a "No smoking" sing.

I don't care if someone is obese or not, but when I see all of those lard-ass hippo-women walking around in leather minis and exposing their wavy guts...makes me wanna PUKE.

Obesity is such a problem in America, but fortunately, I believe the attitude is changing.

There is a popular show called "The Biggest Loser", where a bunch of heavy people try to compete in losing the most amount of weight.

The show is actually quite educational, in that it addresses every aspect of a healthy lifestyle, including exercise, calorie-counting, and selecting a healthy menu. I am a big endorser.

? quoting satchmo

This is a fallacy created by the ideals of people whom assume that because it is so where they live it must be so everywhere. You may be a Doctor, but I travel extensively and what I see clearly states to the contrary.

Obesity is on the rise in may areas in the US not to mention in certain races. Obesity is on the rise in the black sector as well as the Mexican. Certain regions of the US actually base their status on their body size. The opposite is also evident. Rich people can afford to be fat, and poor people cannot afford to not be in these areas.

The awareness of obesity is more evident today however.

When you consider that the other countries with larger populations than the USA all have poverty issues, this is hardly a controversial statement.
