One of the ongoing themes of the morning program “Today” is obesity. Almost daily they parade numerous experts to decry everything from McDonald’s marketing campaign to parental responsibility regarding obesity in children.

YET daily they have the “food” segment that offers everything from the new trend in cupcakes to saucy French feasting.

Al Roker, also a WLS alumni, is still a bit portly but always seems to ‘weigh’ in on healthy feeding.

Sometimes these food fest are in the same 30 minute segment of the show that the ‘experts’ are spewing how HORRIBLE it is that 66% of the USA is fat.

Such topics as:
5 Ways to help your child lose weight
Private gym aims to address teen obesity
Conquer your fears about losing weight
Secrets of women who lost half their size

The exact same day as “Secrets of Women…” they had a food segment on “Get fruity! Freshen up BBQs with sweet recipes” Nothing like a Sweet BBQ to make one want to run out and do 30 minutes of cardio before sucking down the ribs.

This Goddess believes the Today Show would be better served if they would perhaps run some “Body Positive” segments on acceptance rather than shunning those who are struggling with issues that we Phat Pholks seem to run into.

Word up, Al!!
