AND PEOPLE SAY THERE ARE NO GOOD JOBS OUT THERE

As a part of the study on obesity, the school is offering participants the opportunity to eat all the fast food they want every day for three months. They’ll even get paid $3,500 for it. The only catch? They have to gain five percent of their body weight during the duration of the study.

Gain 5% in 3 months? It would cost me a lot more than $3500 for that kind of chunking up.

I'm pretty sure my cardiologist is getting to the point that he would pay me to come in for the follow up treatments (after resorting to the nagging, self-righteous phone calls and a sticker of shame on the window of my truck) if he's willing to entertain a counteroffer.

No Twinkies? Forget it.

Gain 12 pounds in 3 months? Heck, I could gain that in two weeks.

Losing it takes far longer.

Is anyone else trying to figure out how much wiredog weighs?

[Jeff Meyerson]

240?

As if there weren't enough fat people in St. Louis already...

Nine years of working on the road, mostly in small towns where the locals were just thrilled to have KFC, weaned me from any tendency to eat fast food.
Of course, if I'd eaten filet mignon for nine years, I probably wouldn't like beef, either.
Funny that I haven't lost any weight since I retired.

Holy sh!t. WHAT an effed-up study. Let's make people destroy their bodies no purpose, cuz that makes all kinds of sense. It's for The Greater Good, you know.

SO sick of the whole OMGDEATHFATZ hysteria.
