Some articles say it's the High Fructose Corn Syrup that is added to almost everything. Supposedly it prevents the body from absorbing any nutrients from the food, so the brain is constantly telling the body it is hungry, regardless how much one eats. The fat piles on while the body continues to starve.

I'm also writing a book about how rap music and basketball cause irreparable brain damage, but I'm still trying to find an exception that proves the rule (i.e. at least one person who listens to rap and plays or watches basketball, who still has more than two sparking neurons).

I was just fixin' to expand the control group to golfers, hoping to find a live brain cell among the jock crowd, then the whole Tiger Woods thing hit the fan. Maybe NASCAR next.

We drive everywhere now, because of urban sprawl. When I was a kid, when I wanted a special treat or to meet my friends, I walked. I lived in suburbia, and we had sidewalks everywhere, because the bus didn’t pick you up unless you lived 2 miles from school. Having sidewalks mattered. Parents let their little kids walk on the sidewalks but do not let them walk in the streets. We could also ride our bikes to almost anywhere we want to go: the movie theater, hot dog stand, the ice cream store, A&W, and the park. None of those things are within walking or bike-riding distance to our house now. Our communities are built with the assumption that everyone will have a car.

The other thing is that we have grown to believe a normal portion size is what you get in restaurants.

Based on what I see in my town, Obama could cure the national debt in two years by imposing a $400 per head "National Wigger Tax".
