News of Note
Obesity is now said to be approaching pandemic proportions. Why should we care? As Dr. Philip James of the International Obesity Task Force says, “We're dealing with an enormous economic problem that, it is already accepted, is going to overwhelm every medical system in the world."
This article says that by 2030 one Briton in every two will develop cancer. Shouldn’t we do what we can to prevent cancers that are preventable? Limiting obesity is one way to prevent some cancers.
Here’s an article describing how playing chess can help against Alzheimer’s disease.
Genetically engineered grass has been found in the wild. This is just another example of how this technology cannot be controlled. Does anyone care? I do, but apparently I am in the minority.
This article says there is a possibility of being exposed to dioxin if you heat your food in plastic containers.
Listen to my new song, Get the Hell out of Iraq. (See lyrics here.)
