Hmmm...what day is it again?

What a crock of BS !
Obesity is caused by sloth and gluttony, and until I see a 400 lb person dead from starvation I absolutely won't believe otherwise !

obesity is caused by a virus. Is that the candy virus, the Big Mac virus, or the Frito-Lay virus?

Is that the candy virus, the Big Mac virus, or the Frito-Lay virus?Well, I'm not 100% sure, but I suspect it's the Super Supreme Pizza With Extra Cheesy Breadsticks virus. Or, it's possibly a combination of viruses. I haven't ruled out the Fast-Food and Couch Potato viruses in my analysis.
What do The Experts say?

This may not be as outrageous as it sounds. The problem is that the virus probably affects metabolism, and attacks when you overeat...
remember that heart disease (e.g.- plaque) is now believed to be caused by a virus as well rather than just a simple chemical surplus of cholesterol in the blood. The heart disease virus is promoted by -- you guessed it -- overeating, in particular, carbohydrates.

"Initially, researchers believed the obesity, or "Elvis," virus was spread via close-quarters flatulence "If this was true, and considering my wife's propensity for such, I should weight about 400 lbs.
Great 4/1 joke
