underworld Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 She said that people should eat sensibly and exercise, but also wash their hands to prevent infection. the only way washing your hands will make you lose weight - is if the put all the sinks and soap on the 5th floor and unplug the elevators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foraker Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 When I was a kid, I remember meeting this friend of one of my dad's friends when we were all out on a fishing trip on the Kenai Peninsula. He was taking some medication for some bug that he said was basically eating his fat cells. Who needs a vaccine when you have a natural predator for fat?

JayB Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Curious how people who eat well and exercise don't seem to catch that virus. Seems to be wholly absent from sub-Saharan Africa as well. Can't think of any other viruses that are a problem there, so maybe the climate keeps them at bay. At some point in the 90's - I think it was after the woman who drank a fifth of JD a day sued JD because her baby has FAS - I joked about obese people suing McDonalds and other fast-food joints for making them fat. It seemed so rediculous at the time that I never thought it would happen. A few years later I joked about the obese waging a successful campaing to have their condition classified as a disability, and went onto state that as a consequence millions of people who were in the extremely-overweight category would eat their way into mortal-obesity in order to hop on this literal-and-figurative gravy-train. This already happens with people who want bariatric surgery, but can't quite qualify because their BMI is just below the threshhold. A side prediction is that we'll see quite a bit more research of this sort bein cited fervently by the National Association for Fat Acceptance (really exists) aforementioned campaign to qualify obesity as a disability on-par with Parkinson's disease. This will only intensify as more insurers attempt to use BMI as a tool to increase premiums in the face of spiraling outlays for medical expenses associated with obesity.

Dru Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 They used to think ulcers were caused by working too hard, too. If they can develop a vaccine and make fat people skinny, think of the benefit to society and your tax bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dru Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 Well why would you quarantine the fatties if there wasn't a danger of transmission? Aside from the fact that fat ppl are sometimes hazardous to view, especially in tight bathing suits . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
