'Her highly touted “Let’s Move” campaign can make no claims of
progress in combating the 800-pound gorilla in America’s dining rooms:
Junk food marketing to children.'

That's the First Lady after fighting the Gorilla for over a year.
Let's face it, our kids don't have a chance. Moving is common sense in
the jungle, but we have long abandoned the natural habitat and have
become fat, easy prey for the Food Industry.

My own wisdom, Beach Cruiser Philosophy, will undoubtedly help us
reach the noble goal to get America going and abandon the remote
control. I'm throwing in the experience of Evolution to help people
understand where we came from and why we are still a monkey in the
cage.

I put in 2 hours of beach cruising today, how about you?

NOTE: Stationary bikes hardly count because you are still in the cage.

The news from the UK are hardly encouraging:

"80,000 on benefits in UK due to addiction, obesity"

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110421/hl_nm/us_benefits_addiction_obesity

Maybe if they rode a bike, they wouldn't be addicted and obese. But
then how would they qualify for benefits? Hey, we better pay them to
ride a bike!

You won't necessarily know this, but many of the jobs formerly done by
people of limited intelligence and no education have disappeared, so we
are going to supporting numbers of people on benefits for the
foreseeable future, maybe the whole future.

But at least make them move and do something please! Do not feed the
problem!

So have people lying around starving in the world's sixth biggest
economy? I don't think so.

People starving in the UK? It seems that's out of place in Europe.

Surely they don't have dead cheap peanuts there.
