Right now on the news there's a bit about how American babies are getting so fat that they don't fit in their child seats any more. Is this true?!?!?!

Probably. When I worked at the Gap they told us that for a while each year the Gap clothing manufacturers would adjust their child sizes, making them bigger than the previous year. Most of the male children's clothes can easily be worn by an adult woman. One of kids' side managers even bought all of her clothes from the boys' section. She was kind of weird, though.

My friend had a thoery that some day humans would evolve into two different races depending upon their ancestors' weight.

I didn't think babies were having obesity problems. Children, sure. I don't know, is it possible the problem is that babies are actually healthier than ever?

[semitribe]

I don't know what babies would eat to become obsese, but if their parents have problems I guess it could become genetic. They're probably not healthier than ever, though.

I found an article about it:

i haven't heard anything about that. but usually if an article includes the word "baby" i run for the hills. also, if you could recieve a package from a european country like, say, germany, what would you hope it contains?

[semitribe]

Hmm, I don't know much about Germany, so it's hard to say. Besides free plane tickets to Germany, I'd have to say something really German.

I could ask you the same question about an Asian country that starts with a "J" and ends with a "pan".

hmm.... anything cute, really. i like that little burnt bread guy. pens are good.

i'll find a real german thing. you will love it.

Parents need to just start strapping their kids to the hood of the car. Problem solved.
