Do you see the conflict of interests, or the push and pull of opposing goals? These two should never have tied the knot. Is it too late for an annulment? It's like two people getting married in a hurry and then discovering that he wants to have a lot of children and she doesn' want to have any. They can't have it both ways.

To the extent that usf succeeds, the villages (processed) fast-food business will fail. Picture two people an a seesaw....as one goes up, the other comes down. Failure is built into this health study because we don't have both parties working together, even though, on the surface, it may appear as though they are.
dah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
