Focusing On Deadly Epidemic At 15-State Southern Obesity Summit

When the blind focus on something.

"With Thanksgiving and end-of-the-year holidays coming soon, many Americans will eat, drink and get heavier. It is a challenging season for those working to control and reverse our nation's obesity epidemic."

Clearly the best time to deal with the problem is when you have a chance to ruin people's holidays.

"Luckily this is an opportune time to remind everyone of the problem and discuss ideas and projects to combat obesity, especially in children, according to organizers of the annual 15-state Southern Obesity Summit."

As if reminding people to be calorically responsible on one, two or three days per year will make any difference.

"Other participants will include Donna Richardson Joyner, Buns of Steel fitness guru and appointee to the President's Council for Physical Fitness and Sports appointee; and Adewale Troutman, M.D., an associate professor at the University of Louisville and director of the Louisville Metro Public Health and Wellness department."

Hey, with headliners like Donna, what can possibly go wrong?

Deck the halls with schemes of folly. Fa, la, la, la, la, they're doomed to fail.

Morons.
