Re: [RC] Rider Weight - Barbara McCraryI agree with you, Tom, and I didn't mean to suggest that obesity is not a huge problem in this country.I do not eat at fast food places. I do not drink soft drinks. And I am packing only 20# more than I want. But I also realize it is hard to lose weight, especially at an older age when vigorous exercise is harder and more painful than it was when I was young. I think a smooth, comfortable horse would do a lot for me. My present one, while wonderful in many ways, is not very smooth and it makes trotting, my gait of choice for losing weight (mine), is tough on this horse. He's a bit too lofty and springy. And while obesity is a national problem, I think our society is becoming more aware all the time. If we don't buy Big Macs, the company will either go out of business or change their menu to salads and lighter food. And I still think beauty is in the personality, rather than the body.

Obesity has become Americas # 1 Health Problem. It masks other causes of death by blood vessels clogged w/ Big Mac's and Fries and heart problems. We are a consumer society that has everything we want to consume and people consume too much and exercise too little. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
