my banner ads were of some naked chick... gabi, i think. i don't know what disturbed me more about that site... that banner ad, or some of the pictures in the gallery of people showing off bodies that i would never in my wildest dreams consider obese.

The authors found that the messages from media and health care professionals to engage in healthy behaviors, such as physical activity and eating healthier, may actually be doing more harm than good, Komesaroff said.

you mean nobody ever stopped to think that the all-encompassing, broad-sweeping message of "eat less, exercise more" might not be the right answer for everyone? that for those of us for whom low-fat/low-calorie dieting doesn't work, the message of "you're just not doing it right" might possibly be demeaning and de-motivating?

gee... ya THINK?
