@NOLAgirl: Nope, weight loss is different for everybody. I'll spend a month never going a drop over 1300 calories and walking 3 miles a day and I won't lose a pound. That just doesn't work for me.

@Lady Skittlehattington: I really hate the all you need to do is diet and exercise mantra that everybody has. If it were really that easy do you think we would still have these problems?

@katieb: *these kids* also that post was a little me me me, and I apologize.

I just want to add that it's HARD to lose weight and keep it off. And I think so much of it is genetics. We were always outside when I was little, no chips or cookies or soda, never any fast food. And I was still always way overweight, all the way through college. It wasn't until I was really "on my own" that I…

@Fatdogsmells: I was born in the 1980's too, and I feel like we've lost the thread of our argument cause your last posts didn't dispute anything I've said, and I agree with both of them. To say that food agriculture contributes 15% of global greenhouse gases doesn't take into account things like soil erosion, the…

@Fatdogsmells:

@Fatdogsmells: "How Meat-centred Eating Patterns Affect Food Security and the Environment" This is a very short article that uses good research to prove this point.

@Fatdogsmells: the relationship between native american's and buffallo is in no way related to the current systems used to produce meat around the world. That's some apples to oranges right there.

@jennfizz: Sorry it was more me, I take the environmental stuff way to seriously. Since I moved it's been driving me crazy how misinformed and apathetic some people are, not you obviously, but people like my current (eeeevil) boss who will write two words on a sheet of paper to make a point and then throw it away…

@Snowbunny: It is hard, especially being as strapped as I always am (thanks college!) but I'm going to try really hard to avoid the walmart. Also this might be the crunchiest thing ever, but I make my own little low fat, snack bars (much cheaper that way).

@jennfizz: No no no, producing meat on all levels is bad for the environment. For starters they have to clear a lot of land for cattle which leads to deforestation and soil erosion, also it takes more resources to raise to cattle than it does to sow and grow crops. This isn't including animal born pathogens, methane…

@Archetype: I ask for paper bags when I forget my canvas ones only to learn that some places *cough walmart cough* don't even carry paper bags out in the sticks where I currently live.

@LaFemme: No way keep doing what your doing and hope that other people wise up and do the same.

@katekate: I hate that, the other day I was at the grocery store with my reusable bags all, "don't worry, I got it, I don't need any plastic bags," and the girl behind the register put my box of tampons in 2 plastic bags. What the hell? why do they need their own bag? let alone 2 of them? I haven't used them yet…

@ccchild: I loved everything about that.

Purity ball and chain.

Thank you, thank you.

I bet the teenage bulls had a hell of a time with that thing.

@CollegeCamelI: The O'Reilley factor is the last place you should go looking for logic.

@bitchyolympian: They'll lose their sense of entitlement?
