<NOT SO HUMBLE OPINION> 
My Grand Father use to say, "Want to loose weight, push the plate away!"
Kids are fat because no one walks anywhere anymore which can be seen
by the evidence of the "Do not cross" signs that have become ubiquitous
throughout the State of CA. We have inaccessible shopping malls, traffic
"engineers" that have no concept of pedestrian or bicycle conducive
designs. I have only once seen an informal engineering bicycle survey. Now
kids have to wear bicycle helmets. If a kid doesn't have a helmet,
he's not supposed to ride a bike. I just don't agree with that policy.

I bought the Pepsi with the sugar.

it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other
way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies."
