Fat People Causing Global Warming?
Originally, I thought this was from the increased flatulance caused by the obese or moderately fat folks but the wife put me straight saying that people on diets make more gas because they eat more fiber.
Go figure.
Scientists warned that the increase in big-eaters means more food production — a major cause of CO2 gas emissions warming the planet.
Overweight people are also more likely to drive, adding to environmental damage.
I can see moderating one’s diet for health and exercising to prevent obesity. We want a health human population
But, this other stuff seems to be pop culture nutter stuff.
Funny though…….

Lof of fatties in Congress. Let’s start by chaining Barney Frank to the government exercise bike.

A good start, Liz.
Next in line – Jack Murtha and Harry Reid

Nice comment Liz.
Give me a choice, and I am a firm believer in “people on diets make more gas because they eat more fiber.”
