What does it say for the willpower (at attention to the importance of fitness) of the average American, when we can't even keep the weight in check of an animal whose entire food supply is externally controlled.

It "says" we can't help oursleves or think for ourselves & need laws that govern our eating & our pets eating as well. It's free comedy:)

Oh come on - is that the best you can come up with? Being fat is nothing compared to being a jerk.
Anyway - that's just pathetic. Sure says something about us as a society that we need a fat pill for our animals.

Thank God they now have the pill. If I ever own one he can go on the beer and chip diet with me, no more sniff and runs through the park.

WTF!?! and sadly they will make money from brainless idiots that will buy it.
When perceived needs and lunacy meet, this is what happens. Not sure who should be slapped harder, the twits that will buy it or the cheese monger that thought it up.

No kidding. Our govt's priorities are really screwed.
Let's spend billions of dollars on shipping people to the moon, and cut back on funding for poor kids. Makes real good sense to me - yup.
