wow the new Buzz word the media and the health nazis are starting to use.. "Lifestyle" and our Lifestyle is to blame


SEOUL (AFP) - World deaths from "lifestyle" diseases will double by 2015 unless all-out efforts are taken to combat them, the World Health Organisation (WHO) warned Friday.

The vast majority of cases are caused by a small number of known and preventable risk factors. Three of the most important are unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and tobacco use, the WHO said.

They are our new Parental Units...
Now go to your room.

"Sir, consider yourself under arrest. Our computers tapped into your chip, and we've found that you last consumed vegetables and fruit three Tuesdays ago. Furthermore, you haven't reported to the Federal Gym for over a week. You have the right to remain silent......"

I'll bet you 10 bucks you're wrong.

In the name of public health you'll have no right to remain silent unless it's speaking out against your Parental Units. In that case it'll be a requirement not to speak.

I say this not as a disfunctioning unit, but for the greater good of all.

I love my Parental Units.
