Obese people are prematurely senile?!

Saw this story today about a study showing that the brains of obese people have aged, on average, 16 years (!!) faster than the brains of non-overweight people.

Not only is this scary for those of us who spent most of our lives obese, but God only knows how much this is going to become another excuse for discrimination against obese people, especially in employment.

"God only knows how much this is going to become another excuse for discrimination against obese people, especially in employment."

AMEN!!

There is already so much of that, obese people don't need any more discrimination as far as employment goes, there is already way to much of that and nothing is being done to stop the stupidity .

Guess we shall wait and see!!!

Hope this finds you well!

Very scary but . . . what were we talking about?

Geez oh Pete, where do they get these ideas for studies?!?  I wonder though on the validity of that...my hubby hasn't been obese a day in his life, nor has any of his family members, but that senile thing for them...uhm, well, just sayin'....
