Ray, I brought the subject of obesity in BBR related to taxing the obese as an disincentive for their bad nutritional habits. The I sent two messages to the editor of The Economist and Financial Times. And told people here I was doing so. I did that because I knew end of the year not much happens and they take such issues and deal with them during the doldrums in the news. As you well know, during this year a stranded cat on top of a tree in Oregon is news. The LEX column of the FT deals with investment. News on the doldrums, in this year end, they took obesity as a subject. The Economist, brought a couple of article on obesity in its issue of Dec. 11th. Filling the world's belly Dec 11th 2003 From The Economist print edition As you see it is very easy. In fact it is not your fault that you fail to make sense of it. It is my way of writing. Now for the scary thing: can you imagine how many easy stuff I write here and you fail to make a sense of it?
