From a formerly slightly obese reader....
I found an entertaining illustration I thought you might get a kick out of which illustrates how many have evolved from pre-historic man to the current condition of much of humanity.Personally, my stage of human evolution is still stuck being like that guy in the middle.
I think this is the second, or third, new year in a row where I did not need to make a New Year's Resolution to lose weight and get under 200 pounds.
