Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 This group is dedicated to discussion, comments, suggestions and whatever else you might have to say about my epic journey across the United States. I am a clinically obese man who is walking across America to lose weight and regain my life. I will chronicle the entire journey on my website www.thefatmanwalking.com detailing how this is my pilgrimage for salvation. Obesity in America is fast becoming an epidemic and I simply refuse to be a casualty of that epidemic or my own failures. Being overweight is a not a disease but instead the result of bad behavior and there is no cure or quick fix for being overweight. Instead the solution to being overweight is to accept and correct your own bad behaviors that brought you to where you are today. The solution is very simple. Either you do something about it or you don't. " A fine setting for a fit of despair, it occurred to him. If only I were here by accident instead of design. K. " Kafka, The Castle. ---- The words above are from this very message boards home page. Foolishly, I took Steve at his invitation in the very first sentence. In this welcome, Mr. Vaught makes some fairly controversial statements that deserve discussion, as does his " epic journey " . Mr. Vaught himself INVITES discussion. So, is this " Welcome " a sham? Are these topics not worth discussion? Are we brave and civil enough to attempt it? Obviously, some aren't, but I believe the majority of people are capable of civil and courteous debate. Much has been made of Steve having been a Marine. I think he can handle the tough discussions, and can critically examine the debate.
