thanks for the post.

I was just trying to highlight the last comment and not review the whole article.

But, I did make the following points (including the one about their lack of education)

If you are going to your doctor and expecting him to encourage you to eat better and exercise, you are mistaken for 3 reasons. First, most MDs are not trained in how to teach you to eat better and exercise properly. Second, they probably don't eat very well themselves or are very active. Third, there is no financial incentive in the current system for the MD to do so. You can not expect a system to give you something that it is not set up to give you.

In Health
Jeff
