Today's Opinion Editorials

The US Army Surrenders to Obesity

The brutal crack-of-dawn exercise of the past is gone and exercise that looks more like pilates or yoga routines are in. This is the Army’s new physical-training program, which has been implemented this year at its five basic training posts that handle more than 145,000 recruits a year. The official goal of the program change is to reduce injuries and better prepare soldiers for the rigors of combat in rough terrain like Afghanistan.

But, the un-official and/or likely reason for the change in the program is to address the problem of overweight and unfit recruits.

What are we doing in this country when we start taking it easy and coddling those who are supposed to be our protectors? The Army has one primary goal: to build a force of warriors who have the toughness and stamina to defend us from those who would do us harm. Read more

Diet Review Websites: they don't care about you and your weight loss struggles

I began writing my opinions about diets 10 years ago. At the time I was trying to figure out how to make a living on the internet so I'd have the time to pursue my outdoor passions of skiing, climbing, hiking and cycling. And also because I was once 75 pounds overweight and I still had plenty of pent-up anger for all the diet scams out there.

There were no websites that told the truth about them. I had no example to follow and barely knew the basics of web design, so I created a simple template with a headline banner with several links to different categories of diets, a long vertical list with all the diets I wrote about and a basic footer with an opinion discaimer and information about my site. The same as it is today.

My reviews were pretty basic back then and they haven't changed much over the years. My review criteria for weight loss programs has always been long-term, as in, how effective a diet is likely to be for permanent weight loss. I have been paid to endorse numerous diets over the years, but only those who conformed to a rigid standard of decreased calorie, low-fat diet and fun exercise at a low cost.

Today, chasefreedom.com has been surpassed in the search engine listings by numerous copy-cat websites. I guess that's life. I just wish they'd copy-cat a little closer and quit pushing every diet under-the-sun, worthless, harmful diet pills and diets whose only focus is to take desperate people's money. The copy-cats know who they are. And they don't care about you and your weight loss struggles.

 

Obesity Studies in the News: The stupidity of researching the obvious

Everyday I peruse the headlines on news, health and weight loss websites to find the latest information. And everyday I read some new breaking news story about some researcher somewhere finding another conclusion that seems so blatantly obvious that makes me start to wonder in the this age of high unemployment, where I can find a job where someone would pay me to conduct clinical studies whose outcomes are entirely common sense and predictable. Did all these eminent doctors and medical professionals with their fancy medical degrees from the World's finest institutions of higher learning simply run out of things to study? Is there no practical use for their expertise anymore? Is the world overrun with doctors, like lawyers? Read more
