Eat More? Get More Fat?

I must report an even more startling finding, fresh from the cutting edge of science: bigger portions mean bigger people.

Yep, what was a mere super-size supposition has been documented by researchers at UNC. Never have I been prouder of my alma mater. Next up, does jumping in water get you wet?

Seriously, there are only so many variables in explaining how folks get fatter, and eating more has to be part of the equation. Not clear on why this had to be a topic of research other than it is a hot-button issue.

Here's a potential white-hot issue I'd love to see someone tackle: Did the entry of women into the workforce cause America to get fat? Have we failed to find replacements for the traditional housewife's roles of dietician and short-order cook? Have we simply forgotten how to eat and cook?

Beats me, my microwave burrito is done.
