Since we don't watch much, if any TV, my preferred source of news is still the BBC.   It's also always interesting to see what news is happening in America that the BBC thinks is worth reporting to the Brits.

Today, a BBC News article talks about how fat America is and shares projections that 73% of America will be obese by 2008.

So, is there a bright side to this upsizing issue?   Sure.   Maybe all the airlines will go proactive on us and start widening those tiny economy class seats at long last!
