Ben, reality and other people on here have just been trying to point out that you're obnoxious and lack logic. She probably stuck with it more than most people would bother (I certainly wouldn't to that degree). I suspect also that most people completely tune you out, whether the subject is weight loss or anything else. You're like that raspy static you flip the radio dial through on your way to a station you might actually want to listen to.
Anyway, what's your solution for getting people to lose weight? Tell them to eat less and exercise more? Okay, sounds great...you should get a book deal at least out of that, at least, and a bunch of motivational speaking gigs. I'm sure that six months from now, 80% of Americans will suddenly be running triathlons thanks to you posting on Salon that people should eat less and exercise more. Because, it's like this whole weight-loss secret that's never ever been revealed to the public.
But if everyone out there got thin, wouldn't it suck for you? Who would you be able to feel superior to?
