Aye, but what sort of surgery would that be?<br /><br />In the case of AIDs denial one must ask: "What about those who catch AIDs from HIV tainted blood transfusions or needles?"<br /><br />In this case of free will denial one must likewise ask: "What about former fat people who have become thin by permanently changing their exercise and dietary habits?"<br /><br />Do such people not exist? Perhaps they do not. I can't think of any family or friends who really pulled it off. Can you? Is this heroic person a myth, a naturally skinny person who over 3-5 years became chubby enough for self-preservation instinct to kick in and alter their psychology back to that of a thin person?<br /><br />The change from youth to adulthood certainly alters weight in very many people. Fat kids grow up to be models and thin people develop seemingly permanent flab. Both gain and lose weight but only back to baseline weight.<br /><br />Does a HUGE amount of daily exercise compared to average even count as "permanent" weight loss if a fat person uses it to become thin? Will they stay thin when it counts most, in old age, or when they have any near fatal illness and end up bed bound for weeks or months?<br /><br />-=NikFromNYC=-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
