As long as our food pyramid & doctors keeping pushing hclf to people this epidimic will continue. I am in same boat with teaser in that I am against being taxed into compliance. When it comes down to it each of us make choices. Each of us here made choices to try and find a better way to eat that ultimately lead us to this site. On a basic level each person has got to really want to change before anything has a chance of working. This woe although can seem easy at time is still hard & takes commitment to be part of 2-5% and that are successful long term. So many want quick fix of surgery with no commitment to changing underlying issues that got them in that shape in first place.
