Hey, that's it! I know understand why American youths today are so much more obese than of 30 years ago. It's not the sugar in our diet, the super-sized fries (always countered by the giant Diet Coke(R)), lack of self-control or self-esteem, or video games that cause it.

Global warming is why we Americans are becoming fat-asses. This also probably explains why the rate of teen pregancy is on the rise, and the increasing use of heroine.
