The question is, "Who gives a rat's ass"? If a person of that age is so dumb that she has allowed herself to get to 300 lbs. there is little that statistics will do to convince her to loose weight. In this day and age there is too much information available on the dangers of being over weight for anyone to sensibly ignore it. People, esp. women, blame hormones, the weather, the time of the month, family, history, broken off love affairs, mistreatment, etc., etc., when in fact it is entirely that they have more calories coming in than going out. End of story.

These 750 lb. people you see on tv going through gastric bypass have only two people to blame; themselves and their enabler, i.e., the person that is bringing them the food (cause once you pass 500 lbs. you are not going to be doing you own shopping. They want everyone's sympathy and the taxpayer's money but they can't keep their mouth shut long enough to help themselves.
