For goodness sake - apparently, obesity ISN'T the fault of the individual...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7047244.stm

and scientists are developing new 'foods' so that we can continue to eat whatever we like and not get fat...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7047428.stm

I'm absolutely not getting at anyone here, and I know that some people have real health issues that mean they ARE overweight through no fault of their own, but I read these stories this morning whilst having to listen to a more-than-twenty-stone man in our office eating THREE bags of crisps, a couple of kitkats and drinking coca cola for his breakfast....

Are we not expected to take responsibility for our own health any more...?

we seem to have little responsibility for any aspects of our lives now from what I read in the newspapers and hear on the news.

In my opinion today's society is sadly lacking in common sense.

One of the first tenets of "self healing" is taking responsibility but the "big boys" have no intention of letting us do that as it means less power and money for them. There are a select few at the top of the tree who want to control every aspect of our lives (look at all the new laws that have come in latley and are still coming in).
