Curves - Bad News
 

I found the following on the alt.gossip.celebrities ng:


-- Just so you know: Gary Heavin, the founder of the Waco, Texas-based
chain of exercise studios called Curves, is a heavy contributor to
several organizations allied with Operation Save America, the rather
more muscular successor to Operation Rescue, the anti-choice group.

The organizations he funds are spreading the lie that abortions lead
to an increased risk of breast cancer. Planned Parenthood says its
operations in Texas are being threatened by Heavin-funded clinics
based on the old therapeutic model "you must carry your child to
term."

In an article in Christianity Today, Heavin expressed pride in his
involvement with anti-choice groups, to which he donates 10 percent of
Curves' profits. You may do with this information what you will.

Not to sound like JC, but what does this have to do with exercising at
Curves and losing fat?

Curves - News
 

Whether it's bad news or not is a matter of one's perspective. You
are assuming 100% of the people here have your same point of view.

... You may do with this information what you will.

How kind of you to allow others to make up their own mind! I'm
sure that will be appreciated ;)

Now I know why I don't read gossip groups. The second word of that group is
called "gossip" for a reason.

People can decide where to exercise and lose weight. They may choose to
spend those dollars elsewhere if they know this about Curves. Of course,
others may choose to go there because of this. I think it has a lot to do
with where you choose to exercise. I know I will NEVER be going there now.
I considered it for when my current gym membership expires, but no way --
not now.

Did you go to the link? It's from the San Francisco chronicle. I think
it's worth investigating, at least. Don't discard this information just
because it's from a gossip ng. It could very well be true, and it's not a
good idea to stick your head in the sand. A quick google search comes up
with MANY other articles confirming this, imo, disturbing story. Here are
some links.

I am shocked. If someone put this info in my lap, I would research it. I
did, and it looks like it's true. Don't be superior and holier-than-thou.
If this is an issue you care about (and it is for me) find out if it's true
before you just discard it because you first learned about it on a gossip
ng. The link is from the San Francisco chronicle and a google search
provides many other articles confirming this story.
