This wouldn't surprise me, not the first time an infectious agent has been found to cause something previously thought caused by something else (helicobacter Pylori comes to mind)..

I dunno, I hear a lot of fat people complaining all the time about how tough it is to lose weight (my late mother among them). But when I ask them how much exercise they're getting, I have yet to hear a fat person say, "Oh, I ran three miles with my dog this morning, I'll take a walk on my lunch hour, and I'm going to swim half a mile after work." Spending a few minutes on an exercise bike or lifting a few weights won't do it.

That's easy for you to say. You're probably the only guy on this board that has a real job.

Do we have time to qualify a initiative for the fall ballot to ban Second Hand Fat...
