Obesity Linked to Right Wing Ideologies

OK, it is still winter, and I am very soon to turn 55, yikes... so it must be time for a spot of humor:

I can't eat 'Onion', so I'll call this my 'Garlic' (form of satire):

Clinical research is now finding  a direct causal relationship between the amount of excess body fat a person holds, and the hours that person spends listening to fox new's glenn beck, or talk radio's rush limbaugh.
'Top scientists' have studied groups of adults, many of whom are 20 - 50 pounds overweight, and guess what? Yes, just as you might have suspected - anger, vitriol, misinformation and hatred all contribute to poor eating habits, lack of meaningful activity, and, consequently, fat.

How would that make us think, and act... to believe that holding mean thoughts makes the body hold onto calories? This could be a new take for the billion dollar weight-loss industry. Is a patent in order?

I think it is at least partly true. Kind thoughts and kind words, compassion is the diet of the happy future.
