Hi TP–

I didn’t really intend it as a joke.  We have a woman who is obviously obese who doesn’t have a clue about the diet program that was all the rage during her appearance on the TV show, which would imply that she doesn’t concern herself with nutritional matters.  And it shows.  It’s more of a cautionary tale (told in a picture) than a joke.

Where have these people been living for the past few years? Haven't they heard of "low-CARB?" This just proves we have a LOT more educating to do, doesn't it Dr. Mike?! Excellent as always!

I do wonder if she got it right, though she obviously had no clue if you had to use a lifeline. <em>I haven't a clue.</em> I bet the fourth answer was restricting calories.

I do wonder if she got it right, though she obviously had no clue if you had to use a lifeline.

I haven’t a clue.

That being the case, obviously one of the other options would have been fats ... but the fourth? alcohol maybe?? At least when she gets home without any monetary reward she will know the answer ... and who knows, that might change her life more than money ever would.
