Hugging and Chalking

This blog is about obesity and the inanity/insanity it spawns, the encroaching lawsuits and growing diet industry. Obesity is a matter of genes and personal responsibility. You can have an endocrine problem, or you can have a balance problem (too many calories and too little exercise). It’s not where you eat, but how much you eat; it’s not McDonald’s fault, or Mama’s fault, or Washington’s fault if your body is too fat or too thin. Rosabelle.

Boarding school for overweight teenagers

Required exercise at 7 a.m. sharp. No personal TVs or computers. A cafeteria bereft of potato chips and candy bars. Good-for-you vegetables.

Sounds like my adolescence. But it is a boarding school for overweight teens. The Academy of the Sierras has only 12 students, but expects to double enrollment this year. It just opened in September, 2004.
