You are what you eat
There was a programme on telly last night about three fat people
(Americans) who were described as eating themselves to death. Two were
so fat they couldn't get out of bed; the third could walk only a few
steps. As they were so incapacitated someone must have brought them
food. The presenter said that after the programme was made 'sadly one
of them had died'. Why was that sad?
The one who could walk, a man early 50s I think, had a wife and son.
Why had they let him get so fat? He seemed to imply it was just one of
those things. It's time TV producers made a programme about thin people
to point out that they are thin by design not chance. They follow a
lifestyle to keep thin; they work at it. We should see the amount of
food they eat in a week and the amount of exercise they take; i.e.
calories in/out. It ain't astro-physics.
Thought for the day
Patients do not have a choice about choice. Current political dogma
assumes that choice is inherently good, but patients may soon begin to
disagree vociferously if this ideology forces their local hospital to
close or disrupts established NHS services. BMJ 2005;331:1489
