Diet craze
Americans are become larger and in a recent report states that it is lowering our life expectancy.  It is hard for me to understand why Americans are getting larger because in this country we spend billions on diet products and exercise machines.  If you look in the mirror or step on a scale you should be able to tell that you are doing too much of a good thing and cut back.  The big craze now in gastric by-pass surgery.  It seems that everyone now has to find a reason to have the procedure.  No matter how over-weight they may be doctors are raking in the money to perform as weak individuals run to get them done.
Why would I call over-weight people weak you may ask?  Lets see, you tell me how this sounds. You say that you are over-weight and cant lose the pounds.  you say that you have tried diets and they dont work.  You say that you have tried exercise and it doesnt work so you need the surgery.  Well what does gastric by-pass do?  Well it reduces the capacity of your stomach which limits the amount of food you are able to consume.  In other words it does what you were suppose to do or should have been doing in the first place.  If have to resort to by-pass surgery it means that you didnt have the discipline to push yourself away from the table and you didnt know how to say "When". 
This has become the trend in our country.  It is the "Don't blame me for my faults" society in which now matter what your problem happens to be, it isnt your fault.  We will find a gene to blame or some external entity to demonize to take the blame away from you.  Over-weight, it isnt you it's the food or your genes.  Commit a crime, it isn't you is was your family or your environment. Poor, it isnt you it is society and the system to keep you down.  When will we accept responsibilty and make changes instead of excuses?
