An end to obesity


The Conference Board of Canada issued an interim report yesterday that provided a report card on the nation and the grade for health has slipped a bit, mostly because of the growing incidence of obesity. The board's point is that today's young people are the first generation in some time that are likely to be less healthy than their parents.

I'd debate that if only because I haven't been young for some time and outweigh my father by far too much. The generational thing happened some time ago, I'd say.

However, it occurs to me that this design, if printed on a plate, might discourage me from cleaning it off at every meal and thereby reduce my caloric intake. Can a plate be considered a health device?

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

I think a lot of kids ould be moreinclined, rather than less, to clear that plate to get to the cool skeleton face.
