My good friend is working on a study of type II diabetes in the general population. At the current rate, in fifty years, one out of ever two Americans will have type II diabetes due to obesity. 75% of the US population will be severely obese. It is really sad. She shows me all these pictures of of obese toddlers and preschoolers. It is a very sad

I dread ever even having kids... I don't think my personality would be conducive to the task whatsoever, I just couldn't deal with them. I imagine my personality will change substantially by then, but it still worries me.

One out of every two Americans though, holy shit. What are we coming to?

I'm quite fascinated by you on a couple of levels. You should reply to my email at your convenience, which I sent maybe 10 minutes ago. Don't delete it, it isn't porn.

However, I also have to consider that you recieve your LJ comments via email, in which case you would have already read or deleted my email, whichever the case may be. I'll digress though.

It was Carl Sagan, champ... in case you were wondering. I'll check my email tommorow. I am off to bed.

I worry sometimes, being a vegetarian, that raising children that way might make it difficult to fit into very common experiances at friends houses. I would never press vegetarianism on them, but lets face it; if you're raised that way from day one, chances are it will stick.
