Lynda, I have a hard time believing that you operate on this intellectual 
level.  Of the people I know personally, 'all' applies.  It's just the way 
it worked out.  I included that to show that I had a basis for bringing up 
the connection between obesity and infant mortality.   But that is an 
entirely different thing from attempting to counter my posit by saying that 
I hold that any and all down to the last instance of infant mortality is 
directly due to obesity.  If I hadn't read a lot of your stuff on this list 
and others, I might write you off as just a few sandwiches short of a picnic 
in your mental acumen when you address a discussion thus:  set up a straw 
man by restating my observations in ridiculous terms - that is, I am saying 
that ALL infant deaths are due to obesity, and then shooting down that straw 
man and thinking you have somehow countered the point.   You usually do 
better than that.   In fact *I* could do better than that against my own 
position.
