  1. I think it's very hard to peg this problem, like most problems, down to one specific cause. Society is so complex, there are many feedback loops involved. At the end of the day, it's short-term thinking vs long term, and when people feel hopeless, the think in the short term, which leads them to eat unhealthy foods that provide short-term pleasure at cost of long term health risk. The best solution? Widespread public awareness (like the anti-smoking campaign), plus healthy, CHEAP alternatives.

  2. Maybe true, unfortunately. But we should recognize that obesity in USA REALLY IS an epidemic. I, like many, used to think this was an overblown liberal fantasy, until I looked at this: http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2007/fit.nation/obesity.map/

    And yes, this is from CNN, a notoriously liberal company, but the data is real, and is backed by other sources. America is getting dangerously fat, and like most of its fat people, everyone's too embarrassed to admit it.

  3. Their lawyer will have to show to USCIS that what you can do no one else in US can do that and with no degrees it would be hard to prove that.

    I disagree. With certain fields, especially creative fields such as graphic design, portfolios and work experience are often much more valued by employers than a formal degree. If you can prove your capability, even though you don't have a formal degree, you should be good!
