Has anyone else been following the CBS story on the Obesity epidemic on the evening news? I have and each night just shake my head at their report.. here is the link for the story:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002...ain509585.shtml

here is part of the story and why they believe so many people are overweight:

When did we get so fat? And why? Some trace it back to the industrial revolution, when automation and cars made us less active. Others say the current trend started in the late '70s, when women entered the work force in droves and processed, convenience foods became a necessity

Basically the article goes on to say we are overweight because we eat too much and do not exercise.. how many times have we all heard that before!!

I think CBS just lost my respect.. I would have thought a news station like that would look at a story from more than one angle and do a little more research... it is just the same retoric we have heard before.
