Where would you have to be on the body fat index before Mika has you euthanized?
Or supports charging you supersized tax on your groceries?

That woman has gotten on my last nerve. Lord help you if you have a metabolic disorder or some other health problem.

She has all the insight and empathy of a reptile at times. And that's an insult to reptiles, I realize.

2. Her nor joe deserves any of my time
I suggest to all to turn the sob's off and not watch. Neither are good for our mental well being
The reason trash like that show stays on the air is because so many leave the teeve on their show. Turn them off and have a little piece of mind instead.

3. Perhaps we should
consider a "repulsive tax." Mika Mouse alone could foot the bill for true health care reform.

4. I hover between 25 and 26
but know how much of a struggle it can be to lose weight. One thing none of these bozos take into account is the fact that food allergies can actually prevent you from losing pounds. Example: if I eat dairy products like cheese, and otherwise eat fruits, vegetables, and meats, I gain weight. Has nothing to do with will power.

There are many many factors that can effect weight gain (or loss). To assume that someone is morally lax in some way because of their weight is ludicrous.

7. Medication is a factor too.
I just did a 3 week course of prednisone. Prior to starting this medicine, I had just lost 10 lbs. and I gained 4 of it back during the past 3 weeks. My face and extremities were swollen the entire time and my appetite yo-yoed all over the place.

I have friends who are on stronger medications that CAUSE weight gain as a side effect.

5. Don't watch
Joe S had a women working for him wind up dead in his office with her skull smashed in
and went out and joked about it afterwards.

6. Mika is a snob
who has had a very sheltered and priviledged life. She has no concept of how ordinary people live. Part of the obesity problem is economic. Healthier foods are more expensive while less healthier, more fattening foods are cheaper.

10. I really, really can't watch that show anymore
I used to, but now it just makes me sick, and then Pat Buchanan comes on . . .

Mika is such a tool.

11. My first reaction to this post was
"who the hell is Mika"? and fortunately various responses supplied the answer.

I don't understand why any liberal or progressive bothers to watch any of the right wing crap.

12. Well, I'm a fatass, and it is most likely due to hypo thyroid disease,and that I am a FANTASTIC cook
It runs heavily on my father's side of the family, and I have EVER SINGLE SYMPTOM of the disease. But I do not have health insurance and can't afford to have it as a "pre-existing condition" and pay out of pocket for the rest of my life, which may be shortened if Kent Conrad and Charles Grassley have their way.

15. Wonder what her father's body fat index is? Would he qualify for her standards?
Could that be part of her problem with big people?
