Dieting

posted in The Kitchen Sink |

There’s really no point to this post other than that I read this great quote and wanted to share it: 

“A lot of people are afraid of heights.  Not me, I’m afraid of widths.”

This quote also lends itself to a deeper analysis of why we’re all afraid of being fat, but I’ve got a holiday party to go to and food to eat.  =)

Also, did anyone read about how needles need to be longer because American behinds have gotten so big that the needles currently being used no longer adequately puncture the skin and fat to reach muscle for injections?

    Yes, I did read about the fat asses. And I heard about this on NPR today:

    http://calorierestriction.org/

    NPR was saying scientists are trying to find special proteins found in people who are on calorie restriction diets because those people may end up living longer than the rest of us. If they find these chemicals and pur them in pills, they can give people these pills and everyone can still eat tons but still live longer. I love this idea! We can live longer, eat more, and use up the earth’s resources much more efficiently!

    (Of course, I say this as I’m carb-loading for my 13 mile run – in the rain! – tomorrow.)

    Speaking of which, I read that article you sent me about how one American consumes the same amount of resources as approximately 310 Ethiopians. Sad.
