Weight, Weight, Don't Tell Me

The early news just reported that obesity in the USA is a bigger problem than was even anticipated.   Putting it it terms we can easily understand goes something like this:   If a football stadium  holds 135,000 people and one third of them are obese, that's about the same as having 45,000 more people in the stadium.  Oh, now I get it.  Fat people take up more space.
