Dead Before Our Parents

There was a great article in the Cape Times today titled, Old Before Our Time, which suggests that the newer generations are less likely to outlive their parents due to weight-related health problems like diabetes. The only hiccup is that they don't go into WHY people are getting ever heavier except to say its because of "an excess of fat, sugar and salt – and sloth". Don't be fooled! The only culprit in there is SUGAR (and other processed foods).  This is extremely sad but true!  Obesity is on the rise and so is the need for oversized caskets.
