"The troubling fact is that taking a lot of exercise and then eating a bit more food is not good for the global atmosphere. Eating less and driving to save energy would be better."
This is "FUZZY LOGIC" at best, if you ask me!!! Starve are selves and feed are cars? It doesn't take much to figure out who paid for this study!!! Yes, I can see where cutting calorie intake would benefit a growing number of the population, no pun intended, but driving to save energy would be better, I don't think so!!! At some point, the lack of exersice and poor diet will catch up with us, and we will be driving to the doctor's office once or twice a week, so how does that help the global atmosphere?
Heres a thought, how about a Health Club, with staff, including a RN, salad bar, and where all of the exersice machines are made in such a way as to produce electricity when it is being used!! Might as well put burning calories to good use!!! The only membership requirements are that you arrive and leave by "Green Means", (bike, bus, or walking), that you workout if you hang out, and you pay a small members fee, (which is waved for the top 10 members who lose the most lbs. that month). If you have enough members, it should paid for itself in no time!! You could sell the extra power to the grid. It may sound silly, but its got to work better than the above statement!!!
