(This morning I’m over at Long Awkward Pause, where I just finished interviewing the U.S. Surgeon General about America’s obesity problem — which, like many Americans, continues to get bigger…)
Like many of you, I’ll never forget where I was when I heard the shocking news that obesity had officially become the No. 1 preventable health crisis in the nation. In fact, I can even tell you which super-sized meal I was eating.
With millions of Americans resolved to lose weight for the New Year, now is the perfect time for us to make changes in our eating habits before the unthinkable happens, and we’re forced to apologize to the French for throwing the Earth off its axis.

Yeah, I know. My wife always gives me advice on who I should marry, if something ever happens to her (now that idea is a whole another subject/blog post)…anyway, I always tell her I’m marrying for money, not love, the second time around (as if we are ever going to be separated). Yes, we have a strange relationship.
Sounds like you both share the right amount of “strange.”
My goal is to get her to jump up and down on the couch like Tom Cruise. Mostly just to burn some calories.
Fantastic article, and I especially love the photo caption, lol, the epitome of laziness! 🙂
