Overeating to blame for U.S. obesity epidemic

Fri, May 8, 2009

Hmmmm - Actually the article goes on to say studies have disputed the inactivity cause as the major problem. Well, we saw in Supersize Me what can happen with just dietary alterations in the fast food world in which we live. Anyway, apparently the inactivity plays a minor role in the problem; overeating is the biggie. Click the blog title to read the rest of the report.

The Miller Motel

Chris, Kiyomi and family (including Papa) are planning to come for a two week vacation on March 19. He said they're doing the opposite of what they usually do - living here and he takes a couple week vacation in Japan. Now, living in Japan with a couple of weeks here. It is the school break - their new school year begins the first week of April. Unfortunately this is the exact time their renters will be moving in so it will be tight. Since it's Kiyomi's friend, they have said Chris and his family can sleep there so they'll be in the upper master suite (all 7 of them) and vehicles - well, he sure wishes he still had his Odyssey right about now! If he licenses his truck it only seats the six of them without grandpa. Should be interesting I'm sure.

Anyway we're excited that they are coming. Jordan is happy to see his friends (he didn't even get to tell them good-bye because when he left in June the plan was just to stay for the summer). Jasmine and Jaelyn are speaking only Japanese again so it will be a challenge.
