  4. So maybe this is a stupid idea. I mean, I'm not a scientist, dietician, doctor, or anything like that.

    But how about they stop putting so much high fructose corn syrup and sugar in our food? It's well above the level where things are "sweet enough," and are just empty calories.

    I was going to say the same thing. People used to swallow tapeworms to not gain weight when eating.
