					<description><![CDATA[How cruel can you be, Mrs Caruana Galizia.

Was there need to pick on this man and ridicule him?
At least you should have covered his face.
What about his family?
And all this on father&quot;s day.

Would you have liked it if it was close relative of yours?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - I have no relatives, close or otherwise, who are police officers, soldiers or in any other public office which requires them to be physically fit and trim for purpose. But if I had, I would not blame the messenger. An obese policeman is a waste of public funds, because an obese police officer cannot perform the function for which he is paid. Another point: these photographs are from Times of Malta, which has a much wider readership than this site does. So &#039;cruelty&#039; has nothing to do with it.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20140601/local/From-couch-potato-to-race-runner-in-a-year.521360

This is the answer to all those who say that obesity is genetic and they they are prone to being fat. Bollocks. 

The ones who say that should start a food diary to realize how much they are actually eating. The answer is get off your ass and start moving, and stop scoffing all you see.]]></description>
