I have been reading some interesting blogs lately.  A couple that got me going a bit were from Dave Barnhart at The Fumbling Foodie, writing on the "Pleasure Behind Obesity", and Adam Byrd of Men In Aprons, writing on the same topic in "Is There Pleasure in Obesity?".  I thought about writing this, decided not to, then decided to do so. 

The fact is that it’s a topic I’ve fought for some time.  Both Adam and Dave seem to think it comes down to us just not doing what we should.  It seems very plain and simple, and, on the surface, it is.  However, I’m going to respectfully say that both blogger’s viewpoints are a little too simplified.

This isn’t a typical topic for me, so wait a day or so for a different one if you’re not interested in weight issues (it deals pretty directly with barbecue, and you’d know that if you have ever been to a competition! )
