I really am not sure the this approach is helpful to the cause of obesity prevention or its cure.

Oh, I see it's just a threat to the UK. Good thing I live in the US. I was worried there for a moment.0 -
Gee, that doesn't sound sensationalist at all. *sarcasm*0

I read the subject line and thought "That sounds like a 'Daily Mail' headline."
And it was.0 -

Glad they didn't use any sensationalist headlines to drag in readers.0

Unfortunately, me too. I actually read the thing. Being all healthcare related and such. The content of the article I don't question. It's the headline that irritates. This is why I rarely follow the news. It takes more effort to weed through the sensationalized crap than I have time to be bothered with.

I would argue that obesity is more dangerous than terror threats.
Odds of being killed/injured due to a terror attack are pretty low. Odds of developing health problems due to obesity is pretty high.0 -

I was coming in to say the same thing.0 -
yes, and while we are at it lets not forget that global warming is more dangerous than obesity, and terrorism...*rolls eyes*0

Swedes are justifiably terrified of shark attacks. High potential for mortality. But what are the odds?0

General time saver, if it's the Daily Mail, probably not worth bothering with.0 -

Well I hadn't til now thank you very much...
Great, now I have to protest the opening of a new Mexican restaurant AND totally re-vamp my gym routine to include more gawking.
Where am I supposed to find time for all of that (in between eating Oreos all day long, that is)??0 -

This is true. I miss the Daily Show. There seemed to be more truth in that than there is in most news these days.juggernaut1974 wrote: »lemurcat12 wrote: »

Ugh, next headline: "US men are among the leading causes of global warming."
It's interesting to me that while there are many health issues that are specific to each of the sexes that this article has included obesity as being a women's health issue.

Good idea! It will come in handy with all the protest marching, and I can use the shiny brass to discretely catch reflections for the gawking....er....selective gazing
However, Oreos and playing a brass instrument probably isn't a good combination.

Thank goodness! I was worried you had begun the apocalypse by consuming the first burrito.

Hmm... I envision a little target acquired popping up on your glasses once you discretely spot that 'reflection.'
Perhaps use the Oreos to fuel the fervent trombone playing during your protests. I suggest consuming a bit in advance so that they aren't sitting in your stomach while you play.0 -
