    Let me say it slowly for you:

    Your anecdotal stories are meaningless. The comments on the surgeon generals page are the results of the analysis of millions of people's medical histories, showing that as a whole, fat people are far more likely to have heart attacks, diabetes, etc. than people with reasonable fat levels. That said, you and I as individuals might experience just the opposite, but if I took all of the fat people in Charlotte and all of the skinny people in Charlotte, we'd probably fall in line with the generalizations even with some exceptional cases. Therefore, unless fat people also die instantly when they develop these illnesses or simply ignore them, fat people as a whole consume more healthcare resources than skinny people.

    All I did was ask you to prove it......since you could prove everything else about the Atkins. No need to get snippy!!

    YES IT DOES! YOU don't get to define what exercise is. You can't even spell it.
