I'm developing a new theory of my own, which is that we're looking at tiny bits and pieces when it would be more useful to look at the big picture. Sure, people are turning into giant blobs. Are people also getting less healthy? Is it even the same people?
Is turning into a giant blob what makes you less healthy? Or would it be more useful to look at the root causes of both things? What about the fact that different people seem to be more susceptible to different influences? (e.g. my friend's 12-year-old daughter can eat Fruit Roll-Ups all day long, but to my other friend who's diabetic, they might as well be made of poison).
Also, *which* people are turning into giant blobs? I look around the office and I say, "What obesity epidemic?" But I go to certain shopping malls and I feel like I'm in a bad movie.
Also, high fructose corn syrup doesn't explain why the British are also turning into giant blobs. Next theory please! (-:
