If the seasonal food binge has you worried about your size here’s some more weighty information to depress you further. This article about the obesity “epidemic” in America reveals that while in theory diets and exercise can reduce your weight, statistically people are unable to get a lasting benefit from them. The authors believe that in the face of heavily advertised and ubiquitous junk food the populace is almost powerless to resist and suggests tobacco-style regulation including a “twinkie tax”.
I can’t help thinking that if the Segway (or “Ginger”) were to get popular (which I strongly doubt) it would probably be wise to try to ban it to encourage walking… Sadly, many of the problems being faced in the US are common here in the UK as well.
