Amid the sad news of the impending layoff of 150 journalists and the resignation of its publisher, the Los Angeles Times published this story today in its rapidly evolving and improving Health section. Over the past few months, this Monday staple has made indepth inquiries into the matrix of body weight, diet, exercise and overall health without hyperbole or moral indignation. Plus, they write good, too. Today's exploration, called "What's making us fat?", delves into theories both ridulous (maybe we should smoke) and sublime (it's that damn corn syrup). Anyway, good reading across the board. Here's their list, and let's hope those greedy bastards who control my favorite newspaper don't can the entire Health staff.
- Maybe we're too stressed
- Maybe a virus is to be blamed
- Maybe the temperature is just right
- Maybe it's all that high-fructose corn syrup
- Maybe low-fat foods made us eat more
- Maybe we take too many drugs
- Maybe we're doomed before birth
- Maybe there's too much pollution
- Maybe we're not sleeping enough
- Maybe we shouldn't have quit smoking
