What If.....

..... no one was fat?  That's the title of a new article posted recently on MSN.com in the money section. See the entire article here.  While the thought runs through my mind FREQUENTLY regarding myself, I've never pondered it regarding the population as a whole.  The article theorizes what could happen to the airline, food and weight-loss industries if the over 66% of overweight Americans ate less and maintained a healthy body weight. Fuel for airlines would cost less (because there would be less weight on the plane), Jenny Craig, Weight Watches and Nutri-System would not exist and doctors who made their living treating ailments caused by obesity would have to consider another facet of medicine. The cost would be so significant that, according to the article, that every American family could be given $4000.00. It makes you want to rethink that super-size option.
