A recent study conducted by Boston's Children's Hospital concluded that obese kids eat more food than normal-sized kids. Obese children, the study said, "stuff themselves even more ravenously than other youngsters do, and are less able to compensate by eating sparingly the rest of the day." Hmmm. So the kids gain weight because they eat too much. This is indeed a startling conclusion. You know, I've often felt there's a correlation between excessive liquor consumption and alcoholism. I know, I know, I really shouldn't make such a radical claim without first conducting a study to determine if it's true. But that's just the kind of guy I am: a risk-taker.
