[Barefoot]

Village PL, I know you really care about people and want to try to help us have a healthier life. I know you have the best of intentions and that you worry a lot about the obesity rate in adults.

But I think you need to remember that most members of this website are highly intelligent people, and most are over the age of fifty. We've worked hard all our lives to enjoy our Golden Years. And yes, we'd all like to be healthy of course. But we'd also like to enjoy our final lap of the race.

At this stage of life, most of us have probably made our lifestyle choices. We've decided how physically active we want to be, the sports or exercise classes with which we want to be involved. We know what weight we want to maintain. And some of us have decided to just enjoy fresh food every day while socializing with friends, eating in moderation of course. Lots of us enjoy a drink, or an occasional glass of wine.

I applaud your efforts to educate and inform us. But I think most of us have already decided what type of lifestyle we want to pursue.
