There's money to be made anywhere my friend. I mean, raising awareness can be accomplished in many ways.

How much to offset grain fed beef with a butter and sour cream drenched potato and creamed spinach stuffed in mushroom caps?

Except for that baked potato, you should be getting the money.

Big business, corporations, even restaurants can purchase Fat Offsets. It's all for the greater good. Ruth's Chris would be a welcome donor.

So, if I eat a pound of navy beans w/ smoked ham and onions and buy a fat offset from you, will all the flatulence and odor be at your house? My wife will pay you a fortune for that type of service.

You're a typical right-winger and clearly don't understand how offsets work. I won't eat grain fed beef with a butter and sour cream drenched potato and creamed spinach stuffed in mushroom caps as the offset so that you may do so guilt free.

Actually here is how "fat offets" works. Everytime an American gorges on too much food, a child in Nigeria has food taken away from him or her. Therefore, fat Americans are offset by skinny Nigerians and thus the world's "fat" is kept in balance.

This should make Algore feel very proud.

Liberals can pay for the right to be ignorant.

But if they are paying with their own hard earned labor, then they wouldn't be liberals.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave.

"My BMI is 12; pay up!"

It's not about what you do or how fit you are. It's about how guilty and afraid it can make you feel because you're not doing enough. Pay me and the "Fat Offset" will make me, I mean you feel better.

Flatulence and odor is Al Gore's specialty, however, send me money and I will research it for you.

You are now hired. Now, sit back and reap the benefits of Fat Offset awareness.

I know that every time I fly I sit next to a fat offset. Beats me why I pay for an entire seat when I have to share.

Actually, Jon, you owe me a check: by virtue of being American (and, gasp, a Republican Capitalist Pig), I'm already starving many in the Third World.

FReepmail me for my address - I need the money to pay for my Carbon Footprints.

Fat Offsets, just like Carbon Offsets, show us that it's not what you, or the other guy, do or don't do, it's about feeling good about doing absolutely nothing.
