http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/ ... 17-ON.htmlCHICAGO - New and disputed research adds a twist to the Social Security dilemma, suggesting that a nation gorging itself on bacon double-cheeseburgers will one day dramatically shorten the average U.S. life span.
Obesity - especially its alarming rise among children - is the culprit, fueling a startling reversal in life expectancy, which likely will drop by two to five years or more within 50 years, according to a report in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine.
This would reverse the mostly steady increase in American life expectancy that has occurred in the past two centuries. It could even inadvertently "save" Social Security, but the tremendous price would be higher death rates and escalating health care costs, said lead author S. Jay Olshansky, a longevity researcher at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Thanks!
If I was fat, I'd try and talk someone into buying me a double fudge sunday as an investment in their future. "You can buy me this fudge sunday now or pay my Social Security later!"
Now, if only we could get smokers to die off quickly instead of eat up money with medical bills I wouldn't care about that issue either. The quick heart attack is what we need to shoot for. Just imagine if the issues associated with second hand smoke and medical bills caused by smoking were solved. Smokers could suck away and cut days off their lives in peace!*
*Not meant to insult those with fat issues not controllable by eating less or smokers who have quit but are still going to die early anyway or those with medical conditions which will kill them via heart attack not related to eating mass quantities of food or sucking on cancer sticks. Happy Friday!
