Don't give up to be thin

I know obesity is the "in-thing." But a Yale University online survey takes things to a few extremes.

In the survey, 15 percent of the roughly 4,300 people said they would trim a decade off their lives for a thinner waistline. Runners-up included losing a limb (5 percent), or going blind (4 percent).

I realize the objective is measuring bias against obesity perception. There are ways to lose weight without having to think about lost limbs, decades, and eyesight.

Try to eat better. Try to exercise more. That's it.
