I love obesity research, especially the kind of obesity research that enables me to blame other people for my own inability to resist the siren song of burritos the size of my head.
So now I can add being overweight to the list of things I don't have to take personal responsibility for.
Isn't the 21st century great?
On a completely unrelated, but interesting note, read this story about Oscar the Feline Harbinger of Death.

Just happened that folks drank different Cokes during a study."

Or, maybe I should just have another oatmeal raisin cookie and quit trying to think before my third cup of coffee.
