Answer: Cam and Sam? That would be like siblings dating! Who’d want to see that?

LOVE.

Also, to everyone who replied thus far to the previous post: thank you for your support and/or your opinions. I...may not be able to respond to everyone--this is a rather touchy subject for me, and I find it hard to be coherent--honestly, the post I made came out a lot better than I expected it to.

One or two points of clarification:

1) There's no doubt that some kids are gaining some weight because of bad eating habits. The problem is figuring out how to fix this problem. Indoctrination programs (aka healthy eating programs) are shown to have little effect on weight and also seem to make kids neurotic about their weight. Even if they're perfectly healthy.

2) I'm not dismissing the seriousness of the widespread sedentary lifestyle. The problem is getting people to exercise without killing themselves from boredom. ;-)

3) I'm also not dismissing diabetes as a terrible, life-threatening disease. It is a scary disease that affects more people now than it used to, for whatever reason.

4) I do think there's value in eating right and getting exercise. I just don't connect that necessarily with weight. In fact, the healthiest weight to be seems to be slightly overweight going by BMI.
