Anyway, we could try to do somehting about obesity by trying to encourage people to exercise and to eat right. Implementing some kind of incentive wouldn't cost us very much, and would certainly cost less than the problem of obesity if left alone.

hello, we're talking about 'global warming' here, ring a bell? we should focus on the topic people. honestly, the dangers of global warming 'is' connected to health problems today. listen to this well everyone of you ok? global warming is caused by the slow destruction of the ozone layer and the produce of many chemicals that makes the temperature of the world 'heat up'--literally, 'the roof is on fire'. the consequence of this is that the ice in the north and south poles and other parts of the world is melting gradually thereby causing cold climates according to where the wind is taking them--so obviously, you guys may have suffered from frozen feet and all but that is not the point. has anyone of you not realized that global warming will eventually 'melt all those hunks of ice and flood the earth and kill all of us'? the point is not the present increasing rates of deaths due to global warming, it's the idea that we'll all be killed if something's not done to stop it... would somebody voice up some reason out there? please...
