US scientists may have discovered key to defeating obesity

Key to fighting obesity: Put down the fork.

You're welcome America.

Why do people depend on science to fix everything? This is a perfect example. Are we really this lazy as to where we mess with our molecules and whatnot, in order to lose weight?? As someone already posted, the concept to fight obesity was found a long time ago. Its called diet and exercise!! Sheesh.

i sure hope so,,i need to loose some weight,,,

i knew someday this would be possible.

Show me an overweight person and I'll show you someone unhappy with themselves and what they do is compensate by comfort eating (see unhappy person). If you follow a proper balanced diet and by balanced I mean lots of veg, some carbo's, a little fat not processed and a little sugar not refined its almost impossible to become fat. But what do we do, the complete opposite and 90+% of foods in the West are processed sugar riden almost-foods. Which seem to make people and not just the overweight, stupid, because they believe this crap from scientists? The above applies to those that can eat all this crap and still stay slim but trust me they are just as unhealthily and unhappy and whilst you can't see the results of their poor diets they will know it.

Years ago a grossly overweight person was an oddity and now even overweight children are as common as corrupt politicians. We blame everyone and everything for this condition except ourselves.
So you’re unhappy, worried this is understandable in the world the corp elite have prepared for us but at least take some responsibility for your own body slim or fat and educate yourself, stop handing your sorry ass over to Doctors and scientists.

Hehehehehe that is so not very politically correct of you. The Chinese as a nation had virtually zero fat people up until about 15yrs ago (government officials aside) but then they didn't have 50 different types of Crisps (potato chips to you Americians) on their shelves.

Love your one liner

...You dont have to put down the fork, infact, you can be a gluton if you want. Just not on the poison that surrounds us all that is called ironically "food". Eating a crap load of little meals all day actually speeds up the metabolism, causing your body to burn more fat/lose weight. So you should really eat more, just make sure there all very very very little fat. Fruits and vegs aint all bad, you just have to do something that is hard in the process of gorging yourself,... Learn to cook! Infact, i lost all kinds of weight by just cooking everything myself, starting with things like bread, and by doing this you X-out all the bad stuff in it, replacing the fat/chems/grossness/whatever with good tasting healthy stuff, but NOT canola or veg oil, there horrible. (contrary to what kroger will tell you) Olive oil isnt bad, and cocount nut oil speeds up your thyroid gland which can make you lose weight. Or so I have read, but I can't really conform that from personal use, as i don't really use it. Im thinking about it though. I do love olive oil. I mean, just read any ingredients on anything in your house, and figure out how to make it. So you save $, lose excess weight, and have fun making dinner with love added to the enjoyment of sharpening a very useful skill, ensted of eating garbage?
