Should fatness be a factor in choosing the surgeon general?
As ususal in US, qualifications doesn't count, so why is she so peculiar ?
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

As I laid out her predecessor was extremely qualified. This is an affirmative action hire.

So what ? If she's qualified, what's the problem ?

Honestly, Ben, would you have complained if she had been white ?

I don't see a problem with having a fat surgeon general - it's not as though people are going to start eating less fiber and more saturated fat as a result. However if she were my personal trainer or something then I may have second thoughts about her. "Do fifty pushups!" "Why should I? It hasn't done YOU much good..."

Same qualifications? Yes of course.

Ben is right, if you look at this position there are some things you should want your SG to have. She does not have those. She is black, Obama is all about promoting blacks into power positions, as we have seen he loves to leave out whites. Hell he only picked Biden because he knew if he picked an ethnic or woman he would have lost.
She is not qualified. Oh big whoop she knows medical, hell I know docs in the Army that have more qualifications to be SG than she does. Ben is dead on, affirmative ****ing action. Shes gonna get this job strictly because she is black, and this whole bull**** "must be racist" cause shes black thing is tired. She could be purple, who doesnt matter, she isnt qualified and because of her skin color noone will say no.

I suppose it's because she seeks love, or is depressed. She finds solice in eating. Hog.

Maybe because she has a personal interst she'll put more emphasis on finding solutions to the obesity epidemic.
The FDA just shot down a promising anti-obesity drug called rimanabant. In europe patients have been getting 15 to 20% weight loss on this drug, which acts by blocking cannibinoid receptors in the brain. In FDA trials though about 1% of the recipients reported mild depression when taking the drug, so it was rejected for use in the US. Looking at the set up of the trials its apparent that the researchers neglected to ask test subjects if they used marijuana. Rimanabant blocks the receptors marijuana works on, and we know that some heavy marijuana users get mildly depressed when they quit using marijuana. It seems a shame that we've been denied the use of a drug which would go a long way towards fighting our number one health problem.
