Why are we fat? Let me count the ways ....

Over at the Atlantic:

One in five US teenagers has unhealthy cholesterol levels, says the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The two stats that stick out from this study are: (1) 1/3 of teens are sufficiently overweight to qualify for cholesterol screening and (2) 14% of normal weight teens have unhealthy cholesterol levels.

How does this happen, you ask?  Well, images like the ones below are worth a gazillion words, don't you think?  Warning: do not look at them if you ate only a couple of minutes ago; after all, you don't want to taste that food again, do you? :)

And here is that classic scene where Jack Nicholson orders a toast at a diner :)
