More Obesity Studies

A new study says that it's not just America that has a chronic obesity problem.
Roughly 1/8th of all adults in developed countries have Type II diabetes.
Two-thirds are overweight.
One-tenth are obese.

There are too many spectators and too few players.
I somewhat bristle when some drunken, overweight guy tells me I'm a "traitor" because I'm not fanatical about one of the local sport teams. Now that the Rockies are in the World Series, I actually know the head coach's name. There's a couple of players I can't quite remember, but if I see them I'll remember.
The way I look at it, no one roots for me when I go to work each day to earn my paycheck. Nothing wrong with rooting for sports players or teams, but the way I see it, why watch other people have fun when you can have fun yourself?

If more people would have fun themselves, obesity wouldn't be such a problem.

If people would stop eating greasy, salty junk, poisoning themselves constantly while depriving themselves of vitamins, then their bodies could cope.
