WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- More and more obese people are unable to get full medical care because they are either too big to fit into scanners, or their fat is too dense for X-rays or sound waves to penetrate, radiologists reported Tuesday.
With 64 percent of the U.S. population either overweight or obese, the problem is worsening, but it represents a business opportunity for equipment makers and hospitals, said Dr. Raul Uppot, a radiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital.

I understand the myhts's and biological functions of the body fat cells, nutrition etc... at length.
Really how the hell can anyone do it?!?! I mean ok you start off endomorphic, (longer intestines)....but imagine doubling your weight!, and then still stuffing your face even harder not only to maintain that kind excessive of weight, but gain even further (in some cases hundreds of pounds further)!
You would just be eating continously the whole time you're freeaking awake. I mean think about it. Stuffing yourself to the point of barf continously all the time... holy man....that's some serious disorder.
Not only that....all that food must cost a wicked small fortune!!
Then there's all those people that get their stomachs stapled like Rosanne and Star Jones. People don't fully understand why it's such a dangerous operation that causes death. It's not from the operation itself. It's due to the fact that you have to eat like 12 times a day. You have to carry food on you everywhere like your life depends on it.
If you get in a situation where you can't get food for a while, you're find yourself in trouble a lot faster than people with larger stomachs and naturally more lengthy eating cycles. In a survival situation, it's like trying to run a marathon while breathing through a straw. Scary. When it gets tight, chances are you're the first one to drop in the group.
Having been in my share of (dozens) of wilderness survival situations (many out of sheer stupidity) I've come to realize... People aren't aware that they have lost touch of who they really are when they have to confront perpetual chills with the sense of being lost, and stay ok, and see themselves "out of it" Chuck 12 people in a white water raft and 3 are going to freak out the first time it flips them in the rough stuff. hehe. Ahh people are funny curious little creatures they are....
Just do what I do...dont pay taxes!

Are you kidding? I would love to! How?
This would be a good topic for a thread. I know I got nailed with big penalties and interest, so I'm curious how someone with taxable income gets away with non-payment for more than a few years before the liens hit.
