Santa Claus Must Lose Weight Or Else!
Don't tell the Doctor your putting cookies under the tree for Jolly old Saint Nick! Our country has become so weight obsessed that America's top doctor told the Boston Herald yesterday that Santa Claus should slim down!
This comes as one of many recent attacks on Chri Cringle. In Australia, Santa has been ordered not to say "ho, ho, ho" for fear of offending slutty women or scaring children. Tis the season to be politically correct, Santa can no longer say "Merry Christmas" but is recommended to say "Happy Holidays," (which my very christian mother cannot stand). According to my mom, if they are Jewish you say "Happy Hanukkah," Christians "Merry Christmas," etc.
On an unrelated laughable note, my intern informed me that Cookie Monster was renamed Veggie Monster.
This is getting ridiculous. Santa is FAKE. He is NOT real. I mean seriously, how ridiculous is it that we tell our children that a fat man sneaks into your house through a chimney (which a skinny person can't even do nor would a sane person) while you are sleeping. It's so creepy. Worst of all, he employs lots of little people up at the North Pole. What are they child labors? The man is a mess. His nose is wicked red, probably because he is secretly an alchoholic. Next thing we know, Santa is going to become jacked, wear a blue yarmulke (pronounced: Ya-Mu-Kah), your presents will be at your door step instead of under the tree and global warming will melt the north pole so they elves will live in Canada or Russia.
What do you guys think?

"“It is really important that the people who kids look up to as role models are in good shape, eating well and getting exercise. It is absolutely critical,” acting U.S. Surgeon General Rear Adm. Steven K. Galson said in an interview after a presentation on obesity at the Boston Children’s Museum."

"And the Amalgamated Order of Real Bearded Santas agrees with the acting surgeon general that Santa is just too fat. The organization has suggested its 800 members lose weight in time for its July convention to “set an example.”Boston Herald Full Article
“We think it is a health issue for Santa and for children and that Santa should be setting an example,” said Nicholas Trolli, president of Philadelphia-based AORBS.
Connaghan carried out a survey of more than 300 Santas that found the average weight was 256 pounds."

Women Not Getting Fatter By The Day!
Hey ladies, I have good news! Those stupid estimates are wrong! I always hate it when I hear, "What percent of the population will be obese by the year 2020?" Like seriously, lets play it by ear and not jump to conclusions that EVERYONE is going to be fat by some year in the future. The NYT reports today, "Obesity rates in women have leveled off and stayed steady since 1999, long enough for researchers to say the plateau appears to be real. And, they say, there are hints that the rates may be leveling off for men, too." [NYT]
Office Workers get short end of the stick when it comes to obesity
No matter what you eat or how much you exercise, you desk job may be the culprit for weight gain according to a new study out of the University of Missouri. Researchers say most of us sit too much. From the revolution to the internet, non stop television entertainment, transportation, I don't think it's a stretch to say technology advances in way so that we can be MORE lazy.
Ok, so what jobs allow you to stand for most of the day? Famous people never sit down. They are out filming movies, putting on concerts, getting in shape for their roles and concerts, shopping, more shopping, doing good around the world, etc... It's so easy for them NOT to sit down. When we do shoots for diet.com, my feet are always in pain from all the standing I do. Rich Celebs 1, the rest of us office workers 0. What other jobs that aren't 1 in a million allow employees to actually stand to do their job? Janitors, waitresses, floor sales people, personal trainers, meter maids, some teachers, some news anchors... When I worked at NESN, that place was not set up for lazy. The editing suites were down a good 100 Meter hallway, and the computers were at the other end, so if you didn't know who the heck #12 on the opposite team's name was, you had to go run to the other end look it up and run back to finish writing a script to go along with your video. Yeah, I used to run and wanted to get the sneaks with wheels. Anyway, anyone have any jobs that they are standing a lot? This study makes sense, but not really a medical breakthrough in my opinion.
In most cases, exercise alone, according to a team of scientists at the University of Missouri, isn't enough to take off those added pounds. The problem, they say, is that all the stuff we've heard the last few years about weight control left one key factor out of the equation. When we sit, the researchers found, the enzymes that are responsible for burning fat just shut down.[ABC News]
This goes way beyond the common sense assumption that people who sit too much are less active and thus less able to keep their weight under control. It turns out that sitting for hours at a time, as so many of us do in these days of ubiquitous computers and electronic games and 24-hour television, attacks the body in ways that have not been well understood.
