How is this for a fun study: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19845784/

It seriously sounds like we will all die. I am not in great shape, but man, that study wants me to make sure that I never lose control of my weight again. That is depressing.

Shaq's big challenge will take off and everyone will be fine.

All those fat kids will be skinny adults and they will lead the charge in 2015

“Obesity is likely to continue to increase, and if nothing is done, it will soon become the leading preventable cause of death in the United States.”

In my opinion, there's nothing that can be "done" about this. It comes down to every individual exercising a little self control, and stop eating like pigs.

I can't wait. Once everyone else catches up, I won't feel so bad about being a lardass.

What this shows is that I'm really just ahead of the curve. Like the guy who started wearing parachute pants in the 70's.
