Helping vs Accountability

This tweet

makes me think of this line from VEEP

...which makes me sad about the state of personal responsibility in this country and confused by my conflicting desire to hold people accountable and help.

Get it together people. Put down the pizza. Stop drinking Big Gulp Coca-Colas. I think we can all agree that there are better ways to spend the $190 billion we are currently spending annually on obesity related healthcare.

Global Population: 15% hungry, 20% overweight

According to a recent

Red Cross report

, the obese population now outnumbers the undernourished. One could interpret that to mean that the undernourished population has shrunk to a level where it is only natural that the scales tip but, with 925 million people undernourished, it is clear that we have a major problem with distribution and access to food. It is hard to imagine a greater injustice than more people dying of excess nutrition than hunger.

Try explaining this show:

Adam is in Hartford, CT, at Randy's Wooster Street Pizza Shop for its Stuffed Pizza Challenge. Two people must take down a pie made with 4 pizza doughs and packed with meats, cheeses and veggies - it weighs in at more than 10 pounds.
