Peter,
A basic respect for each other remains inspite of differences in belief, thought or opinion.
That’s how anyone gets along.
Regards,
Morgan

Desire unmet usually will lead to these kinds of behaviors in those who have been institutionalized by mainstream heterosexual society for being homosexual.

I think that many people having a preponderance of sitting on their butts and not getting exercise leads to obesity.

Teens and adults need to get off their butts and find an physical activity that they enjoy participating in.

Stop blaming this on anything more than not eating right and not getting physical activity.

Thanks for defending me too, Morgan.
We disagree at times and I respect
your views as we all should to one
another. Boyd seems very stuck-up
and full of himself to me. Peter

There’s an article in this week’s Time Magazine that says some research has shown that an exposure to certain chemicals in utero and/or within the first few years can cause a preponderance to obesity. One of those chemicals, believe it or not, is used in the production of baby formula bottles.

Boyd,

I don’t recall talking to you at all or in that way.
We all have opinions but we don’t talk to each other as you do to us. Opinions are stated respectfully when directed to others of your group.

Typical. Here we have a problem that is 1% about food and 99% about teens under socialtal pressure using food to escape or fill some hole inside of them. But instead of seeing that, we have a cupple of people with their heads up their asses talking about fast food. study didn’t say gay teens are more likely to binge and purge because of greasy food. Honestly, better to be silent and thought a fool than open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.

I didn’t have a fast food/ junk food diet when I was a teenager. I think eating way too much greasy fried, salty and sugary food, too much soda and chips, and high fat foods are to blame for so much of the physical and psychological misery along with the extreme obesity that threatens the well-being of so many teens. Fresh fruits and vegetables and salads and sufficient milk are lacking from so many teen diets. Teens who load up on way too much soda and not drinking enough milk are doing their bones and teeth no favor. And when you have kids in school doing horrendous things to their bodies (like I saw in a photo of two Maryland teenaged girls at lunch pouring ranch dressing on top of pizza) it’s no wonder that some teens are so obese and on their way to severe health problems of all kinds due to lack of nutritional guidance.

Hi all,
Don’t most teens have eating
disorders? All I see most of them eat
is fast food crap. Parents and schools
need to do more to educate kids more
about nutrition.
