[QUOTE="Useless Pretty Boy, post: 119546, member: 20433"] My, my, doesn't this entire thing play straight to the "It's not your fault." crowd? And it manages to do it with the straight face and self-righteous indignation tht only tabloid columnists can achieve. My favourite part was the attack on government guidance towards exercise based purely on "I don't have enough time." Whether or not a person claims 'not to have time' has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not the advice is sound. Essentially, this woman is (dangerously) calling for advice to be changed simply so that people won't feel guilty about collapsing on the sofa and eating high-fat snacks when they get home, rather than going out and exercising. This is simply trying to sell book by telling people what they want to hear. It's more cynical and dangerous than it claims government guidance to be. Even the title of the book is uber-inflamitory, simply to garner attention. Sigh. This sort of thing should be illegal. [/QUOTE]
