[lbo-talk] McDonald's: Honey! I Shrunk the Americans!

[kelley at pulpculture.org]

What a bizarre but expected title for this article! "Americans shrinking as 
junk food takes its toll"

This shrinkage has other possible explanations, more junk food probably 
only explains a fraction of the variation, but hey! Wotever! We need a 
headline that'll get some attention! (*grumble* *grumble* about the use of 
the press release machine to distribute scientific findings...grrr)

Still, it's fodder for an LBO Angst Fest(ival), plus it has some stuff 
about other sources of malnourishment, poverty, etc., and OH MY GOD, the 
lack of protein that might be an issue! I'm waiting for when everyone cuts 
out all the fat, all the carbs and keels over from rabbit disease. =:o
