I'm in the Thinority

A recent study on 1200 Adelaide men between 35 and 80 has determined that 80 percent are overweight or obese.

"Australian men are dying earlier - often with preventable underlying conditions - and suffer higher rates of physical and psychological disease than women", the expert leading the study said. The findings of this study are consistent with other studies across Australia.

"Together with the overall ageing population, this has serious implications for the community and economy."

Looks like a ticking time bomb for later life health spending in South Australia.

If you want to thin down the Australian average midrift, then just let a few of those boat-loads of refugees ashore. They're as skinny as rakes!

I think we could start by banning beer, barbies, fast food and enforce a strict exercise regime. I shall recommend it to Kevin Rudd as an election losing strategy.

Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is valuable and all. But imagine if you
added some great images or videos to give your posts
more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images
and video clips, this blog could definitely be one of the very best in its niche.
Amazing blog!
