New York's Obsession with Obesity Grinds City to a Halt

Alright, here's one more quick story for ya'll...

NEW YORK - Sick subway passengers, most of them dieters who faint from dizziness, are among the top causes of train delays, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

After track work and signal problems, ill passengers rated among the main reasons for subway disruptions between October 2005 and October 2006, according to an analysis of MTA statistics, AM New York reported Tuesday.

I'm sure that New York's recent ban on trans-fat, in effect telling everyone how out of shape and overweight they are, isn't helping on bit either.  Who needs Cosmo to tell women they're fat, when city restaurant officials can tell them the same thing for free.

Not that I should need to tell you this, but starving yourself to lose weight is not the way to do it folks.  And turning yourself into a skeleton is not sexy.
