Hi Hardin,
I know obesity has become a serious problem in the U. S. Indiana (where I live) is listed as one of the "fattest" states. As the economy declines, some people take comfort from eating, which is not a good solution, but if you have a big appetite, like I do, it is difficult to cut down on your food intake. I try to eat healthier, more fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains.
