If Michael Jackson wants to go through plastic surgery another 50 times, it's his right.

TV commercial; I really think it's one of the most effective way to change people's thinking. It's no coincidence that President Bush and Senator Kerry spend millions of dollars to win this coming election. Irony here is that TV is one of the biggest causes of people being obese. I still think TV commercial is most effective though.

It would be good to see someone like Tiger Woods promote real healthy lifestyle on TV.

Were you among the Americans who helped spend an estimated $9.4 billion nationally last year on cosmetic surgery and treatments like Botox and liposuction?

Health experts say the more effective, more affordable approach to a healthier body is to focus on much larger lifestyle changes.
