Fat People Cause Global Warming, Higher Food Prices

Stating the obvious: "Two scientists write that obese people are disproportionately responsible for high food prices and greenhouse gas emissions because they consume 18% more food energy due to their greater body mass -- and require increased quantities of fuel to transport themselves and the food they eat. 'Promotion of a normal distribution of BMI would reduce the global demand for, and thus the price of, food,' write the authors, Phil Edwards and Ian Roberts of the evocatively named London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine."

And fat people are disproportionately likely to watch NASCAR. Solution? Poison donuts at the next NASCAR race!

Let's not forget the large shipment of grains the United States sent over to Africa back in the 90's that was later destroyed, because Greenpeace told the country's leaders that the food was "poisoned", while it was merely just genetically engineered. If we were serious about feeding the entire world, we'd stop growing this organic food garbage, switch all those farms to the most radically genetically modified crops we can grow, and ship them all over the place, but then the racists who think they know more than genetic scientists who have studied this stuff for decades would be up in arms.

This just adds to the hypocricacy that is Al Gore.

That man who says we should all drive hybrids while at the same time puts out more than all of us while flying those private jets half way around the world for so called Global Warming conventions. He has a bigger house that 90% of the rest of America thus using more energy to heat and cool it, and now hes overweight.

The rest of America needs to drive hybrids and live in a two room hole in the wall and be super thin just to make up for Al Gore's waste...

That is assuming of course that climate change is man made and that the climate doesn't change on its own over time naturally due to natural reasons...
