23 Apr 2004 Ditching Sodas Cuts Childhood Obesity
 |  Category: world news  | Leave a Comment

Looks like soda affects kids weight big time. I wonder if this will be tested on big kids now too since their weight has already been affected bg time. Sing it, “I’m a BIG kid now!” Read into ‘big’ however you like.

Was there ever really a doubt in anyone’s mind that soda was a part of the problem? There is so much sugar and other chemicals that add to obesity. Try cutting out soda for a month and just watch your waist line disappear. Try the Mizu! It’s goood stuff.

Mmmmmm mizu good. Pronounced me-zoo means… watah.

That reminded me of some 18th century cultural mores I’ve read, in which people were forbidden to mention or expose anything remotely sexual…. going so far as to COVER THE LEGS OF FURNITURE BECAUSE IT COULD BE PROVOCATIVE. They also couldn’t say “pregnant”, instead they said “interesting condition.”

Obviously, sexuality has no place in the “land of the free.”

Ah, the land of the opressed, the home of the afraid?
