    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.

    I think it's the fat men who are threats in the US.

    It's because they sweat more, thus contributing to global warming.

    dont forget the farting which leads to increased gas in the atmosphere...

    We're doomed. I knew Taco Bell was trying to start the apocalypse.

    every notice how the rise in Mexican restaurants correlates to increased global temperatures...

    I did my thesis on this very topic....

    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)??

    priorities brother, priorities...

    Beware. I keep seeing Taco Trucks at lunch time parked at Gas Stations and whatnot. It's not just restaurants anymore...

    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.

    The end is nigh.

    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.

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

    It got the OP, though!

    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. :rage:

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

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

    Well, the Daily Show is still on, albeit not as good.

    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.

    Thanks for saving me the keystrokes.

    I haven't watched the new one. No cable. Jon Stewart was amazing. I'll have to check out YouTube to see what it's looking like now.

    Very true. But, for some reason Daily Mail thinks it's okay to liken obesity to terrorist threats.

    Not a daily mail reader but once past the daft headline, I liked the gist of what was being said. Going to check the story out elsewhere for other perspectives.

    Well, you know, being fat (if a woman), being a mass murderer, kind of the same.
