Anyone else watch The Biggest Loser?

By the way, you can always tell a Harvard man, you just can't tell him much. Freshman student: Excuse me, could you tell me where the library's at? older student: At Harvard, we never end a sentence with a preposition. freshman: Sorry. Could you tell me where the library's at, A-hole?!

LOL! Makes me think of Bill O'Reilly! Anyhow, my cardiologist graduated from Harvard Law School, and then went on to get his MD, FACC. Either he was confused as a youth or he really loved school. Anyhow, he is a very quiet and softspoken person...nothing like the Harvard reputation that is so common. My exboyfriend graduated from Harvard law school. Super nice guy ... not at all a Harvard snob ...

I just got home from the grocery store. As I was inspecting the Lays potato chips (0 g TF, probably means .5 TF), I saw two videos: Biggest Loser Workouts, #1 and #2. Do you think there's any swimming going on in those videos?

Do you think there's any swimming going on in those videos? Probably not, but Endless Pools was actually a sponsor last year (not sure about this year), so it's possible! I'm guessing the workout videos would concentrate on exercises people can do in their own homes.

Runner up Suzie last year swims laps. They sometimes have pool challenges, and it is clear who swims and who does not.

I'm going to go out on a limb here--the banning of trans fats will not significantly alter the incidence of coronary artery disease nor the death rate. That's not to say it shouldn't be done, but our expectations need to be realistic. Craig, are you contesting the posted numbers attributed to Harvard or saying those numbers do not constitute a significant decrease?

Craig, are you contesting the posted numbers attributed to Harvard or saying those numbers do not constitute a significant decrease? Think about it Lindsay, when somebody suffers an MI is the doctor going to tell him that TF was the problem and cutting this from his diet will prevent further ER trips? Only if he's a quack or if the person's primary caloric supply is from TF's. There are so many things that influence a persons risk of CAD that banking on a TF ban to save lives is absurd. How about genetic predisposition? Maybe we need to start genetically engineering people to have a more robust coronary artery system. In addition, what are food services going to cook with instead of these TF's? More butter? Great. That will make everything allright..cardiothoracic surgeons are going to be sent packing. :rofl: In the end, it seems foolish to ban TF's when something like cigarettes does far more damage to people everyday and provides an inconvenience to non-smokers in the form of a foul odor. People need to take resposiblity for their own actions, and that includes diet.

What Packaged Foods contain Palm Oil? Palm oil is mostly found in following food categories: cookies crackers graham cracker pie crust microwave popcorn" Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm pop-corn! .....kettle or regular?

People need to take resposiblity for their own actions, and that includes diet. the sale of cigs is banned to minors, if those guidelines were followed for TF's, that would seem like a reasonable compromise and help bring the libertarians and lefties together. can't we all just get along. at my next party, i will be sure to have a bowl of pork rinds next to the lance crackers. the minors only choice will be dry cheerios. from the left, db

Question for Lindsay: What age were you when you passed the breeding age. Interesting point, George. But maybe Lindsay was just being forum-ish in her provocative comment and you've now called her on it. Very uncivil of you. So I guess Darwinism still applies to you and all the men here for sure. So what're you doing eating all that junk food and TFs down in Mexico? Exercising your basic right to eat? Are you doing any swimming to stay healthy?
