    There's a CDC initiative out there to get kids to cut their sugar / HFCS- sweetened beverages by 5% per year, or four gallons per year. That math means your average kid is drinking 80 gallons of soda (corn syrup + chemicals) per year, which translates into 1.4 twenty oz bottles of sugary soda per day. Yup. Excuse me while I go pound my head on a wall a little more.

    I think I saw the bigger fella on that program where they show footage from a mini night vision camera that's pointing up from inside a toilet to show what comes out of people. What the hell is that show called? Oh, yeah! My Super Sweet 16. #fitness

    Black socks would be much more slimming to his legs. Also, from the waist down he's shaped like that Heart monster on Bugs Bunny. #fitness

    I used to consume one solid quart of gelato, but not at one sitting. Heavens, no. I would scoop it out for a while, stand up, sit down, continuing scooping. It's healthier that way. #fitness

    The only "news" topic Americans really care about any more is innovative ways to lose weight and become superhuman athletic "champions," in order to get sex.

    Your understanding of human psychology is uncanny. #fitness

    Strange that the White House has a basketball court (and only a half-court at that!). They really should have some cool backboard with a presidential seal. And who were those women and why were they so overdressed? Michelle will be mighty mad when she finds out her husband is spending his time playing in the backyard with a bunch of scantily-dressed women when he should be in his office working. And what's with that music at the end?
