On Prince

     Prince was a modern Mozart. Except he looked much better and could dance. He made music look incredibly fun. He bent gender and bent what it meant to be a rock-star, and was a true original. Even though he is dead, thank goodness we still have his music to listen to. He would be more influential if any of the current music scene could even approach his talents. Who now can hold a candle to him?

"But two months dead—nay, not so much, not two.
So excellent a king, that was to this
Hyperion to a satyr. "
Shakespeare HAMLET



Obesity is not directly the problem - the problem is unhappiness, which can be caused by poor health. Also, unhappiness can lead to trying to get happy by eating which can lead to more obesity etc..

     Human's are complex systems and we cannot look at just the biological aspect while ignoring the personality. In this sense, in addition to biological variation of metabolism, we also should consider that different techniques will work for different personalities. Everyone needs their own unique plan for health and obesity reduction.

Most importantly we have to find a food lifestyle that we will be willing to stick with for the long term.
