Sorry i rounded up.

To be fair though, following current trends that percentage is probably even higher in 2010, not quite 70 but its getting there.
laugh out loud Where the hell did you learn how to round numbers? You might want to think about taking that remedial arithmetic class...

No, but the statement you made below shows what kind of person you are. I don't know ANY doctors who act/talk like that. Think of something else to be when you grow up.
But she did say this "people get depressed, they eat, they gain weight...doesn't take a degree to figure that out.."

So i responded to that.

Actually, weight gain is usually due to the depression caused from S.A.D...people get depressed, they eat, they gain weight...doesn't take a degree to figure that out..Rofl2

And if people got depressed all year long, it wouldn't be "Seasonal" now would it? laugh out loud

It scares me that you are someday going to be a Dr.Facepalm Thank god you're no where near me..laugh out loud
Quote from homycraz2 :
So the nearly 70 percent of Americans who are overweight are usually because they are depressed?

Jeez. its an epidemic of depression.
Quote from homycraz2 :
Feb. 10, 2010 -- More Americans are becoming overweight or obese, exercising less, and eating unhealthy foods.

That's the finding of the latest Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, which shows that 63.1% of adults in the U.S. were either overweight or obese in 2009.

Look in the mirror lately? Maybe YOU should work on that.
Math, it's not your strong suit is it?

Why do you have to be such an ass? It was clear that BG meant people diagnosed with SAD, gain weight due to that seasonal depression. But you have to go off on her just because it makes you feel superior to put others down. I hope to god you never become a doctor.

WHAT?! The post Moo quoted was a response you made to PC.

The quote you have in this post I'm quoting was something BG said.


I think you're just a little confused... laugh out loud

And the only reason people will tolerate asshole doctors is when they're brilliant. So yeah... you don't qualify for the "I get to be an asshole" kind of doctor. laugh out loud

And FYI... asshole doctors suck.

It's not worth the effort, he can't even figure out who the hell he's replying to, let alone who said what. LMAO

http://www.reuters.com/article/id...8320070719

"Study predicts 75 percent overweight in US by 2015"

Like i said i am sorry. I rounded up. the 63% was in 2009

Today, more Americans than ever - 66 percent, according to the National Institutes of Health -- are clinically overweight, (in 2010)

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/20...6647.shtml

in 2011 i figured 70% would be a valid statement.

I have met many doctors. Some are short/to the point and some have a great bedside manner.....but none that talk to people like you do.

Just like most alcoholics have anxiety and they drink to cope with social situations.
Interesting. I wasn't aware that was the case for most alcoholics.

I love how they kept going on blaming genes and hormones for weight gain. Almost sympathetic.

Yet for alcoholics who are also plagued with the same things... interesting.
