Dear Amy: I can’t help but noticing that the overweight people I know eat a lot more than I do, exercise less, and generally lead far less healthy lifestyles.
Like most people, I have friends and family who struggle terribly with weight issues.I have read volumes about the genetic origins of obesity and want to be sensitive to this issue.
Genetics do seem to play a role both in obesity itself, and in behaviors related to obesity, such as overeating. Based on my own reading, the causes of obesity are varied and extremely complex, which is why successful treatment of obesity is much more complicated than you imply. Dear Amy: I read your column every day before my shift. As a former sexual assault investigator, I vehemently disagree with your advice to “Sick of Secrets.” [Sick was the ex-wife of a man who had admitted to a sexual relationship decades prior, when he was 30 and the girl was 15 years old.]If a perpetrator will abuse once, they will abuse twice. This man abused a child.Who says that this man has not abused his own daughter? This needs to be reported at once.Dear Sgt.
