When you lose weight, where does the fat go? It turns into carbon dioxide.

The most common misconception among doctors, dieticians and personal trainers is that the missing mass has been converted into energy or heat. "There is surprising ignorance and confusion about the metabolic process of weight loss," says Professor Andrew Brown, head of the UNSW School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences. "The correct answer is that most of the mass is breathed out as carbon dioxide. It goes into thin air," says the study's lead author, Ruben Meerman, a physicist and Australian TV science presenter. ------------------- The second most frequently asked question is whether weight loss can cause global warming.

Rather than make fun at the who and why of / for this article, I'm amazed no one ever articulated this before.

I'm not sure I ever thought about it like this either.

Who knew that Moore and Al Gore had any value at all? You learn something new every day.

I know. I was just having some fun with it. The whole idea of global warming is nonsense.

So, fat people are “Carbon Sequestration Units.” Perhaps obese people should attempt to secure a grant for their work in combatting Man-Caused Climate Unpleasantness.

I just love it when liberal causes collide.

so does this mean government schools can go back to "fatty" lunches and forget about Michelle Obama's guidelines?

Yeah....and liposuction physicians in LA use the fat to power up their Diesel Mercedes cars....so causing increased emissions....
