| Louisiana replaces Fat Tuesday with Fat 365 |
| 2008-12-04 |
| Louisiana has displaced Mississippi as the unhealthiest U.S. state and other Southern states were close rivals due to high obesity and smoking rates in new rankings that deemed Vermont the healthiest. The overall health of Americans remained static for a fourth year, according to an annual report issued on Wednesday assessing a series of measures also including binge drinking, health insurance coverage, air pollution, infectious disease rates, crime levels and immunization coverage. Many Southern states were clustered near the bottom of the rankings. The region has some of the highest rates of obesity, which contributes to heart disease, stroke, diabetes and some types of cancer, as well as high rates of smoking, which causes cancer, lung disease, heart disease and other problems. |

| #5 GolfBravoUSMC---your pictures, as clinically interesting as they are, gave me an idea. If we liposuctioned these beauties, we would have enough fat to render to solve our foreign oil import crisis. I did the math, and I figured that we could disconnect from Venezuela and Saudi. My wife and I used to get a seal from time to time from hunter friends on the coast. There is lots of heat in seal blubber, so why not this. The secret is to develop a safer, more efficient method of liposuction. The population would become healthier (well sort of....we need them to keep eating habits maintained to keep up fat production) and we would start a whole new domestic industry....Ima talkin jobs, people. And no bailouts. Ima freakin genius.... |
