What Happened to the "Obesity Epidemic"? (Rant) It seems like only a short while ago that you could not open a news site without reading something abut the Obesity Epidemic in the U.S. and U.K.  Even Michelle O got in the act with her "Let's Move (off the Couch)" program.  A few school districts implemented better lunch programs and better vending machine choices. News sources were citing study after study about Obeastness. But it seems to have disappeared from the Public Conversation only to be replaced by Political Correct shit like HAES and "Body Positive". Fuck.
