Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
No, according to the article, it only raises the risk of dying from heart disease or cancer. For all we know, this is because it provides some kind of protection against stroke and infectious diseases. Or death by violent accident. Maybe the extra cushion of girth protects one from fatal damage in a car crash? Or starvation when lost in the woods?
ReplyDeleteIf I were on the Hot Dog Advertising Board, I totally think I could spin this in my favor.
A common scene in doctor's offices across America.
