This list is to examine the latest obesity research and discuss the causes, treatments and just dealing with obesity in hopes of getting closer to an answer in the midst of a vast sea of confusion. People are expected to cite what they post (preferably from peer reviewed journals) or use good logic for the issues they discuss. Insulting will not be tolerated. Your decisions for yourself will be respected whatever they are but listees are asked to NOT make decisions for other folks nor to become defensive if someone should take exception with their decisions on a general basis.
