Okay, you have heard me say this before, but the whole Oprah “NO Texting While Driving” initiative is cute and all.

BUT, only 5,474 people in 2009 were killed in crashed that involved distracted driving. We KNOW all 5,474 were not texting related, but for the sake of argument, let’s say they all were.

Hundreds of thousands of people die from obesity related issues each year, and that number is only rising and rising and rising.

Why don’t we ALL put our efforts behind the obesity epidemic and put texting lower on the list.

Thoughts?

I know I blogged about this in the past, but I am filing old articles and simply have to laugh about the thought that a virus plays a role in obesity.

All I urge you to do is spend the day with an obese person. You will, 99.99% of the time, understand why they are the way they are.
