I’ve found out why the US health industry is so expensive

June28

Who is paying for this?

“Riding a bike is as effective as walking briskly at helping premenopausal women keep from gaining more weight, a new study reveals.”

A Little Biking May Help Premenopausal Women Stay Slim

Really?  We needed a new study to reveal that if a (specific subset of) people burn calories they will lose, or help maintain, they weight?

    Riding a bike is only as effective as walking briskly? That’s remarkable. I would have assumed that riding a bike was better exercise than just walking.

    Apparently, they thought the cause of obesity is that fat people think that bicycles cause weight gain.

    Now we need a study to show that glazed donuts are not as slimming as everyone thinks. I volunteer.

    Your proposed study needs a tighter scope, just like the one referenced above. How about “Studying the effects of glazed donut consumption on the weight of software developers in their early 30′s.”

    Sounds like you’re volunteering too!
