    They needed a study to figure that out?

      That they are still studying this for 30 plus years, rather than doing something about it speaks volumes

    Agree with Ed. Hopefully there was no cost for the study. If there was, what a way to waste money. Mike

      For the love of God, will someone please call Sean Hannity? It will be so braggadocious, dude! All the best words. Daddy-daughter date to the extreme, bro! Wall!

    Fat Lives Matter. Reduce the comp costs by offering a wellness plan.

    Otherwise, Stop and Frisk for the Twinkies.

    You have to take your claimants as you find them… A common source of being overweight is the type of jobs, sitting at a desk or driving a vehicle all day long will make you fat. Employers should all be providing health memberships and making time for the employees to actually attend. Instead they expect us to work 10 plus hours per day sitting and then want to get worried about additional costs for an injury!/?
    If employers sponsored use of gyms maybe we could have more gyms and less doughnut stands.

      Stuck,
      WHy should the Employer have to buy you a health club membership and give you time off to use it??? You control your own health, not your employer! If you want to get fat, you will. If you want to get in shape, you will. Don’t pass the buck to your Employer. You should be thanking your Employer for your job, and not blaming your Employer for your weight gain.

    Imagine how fat everyone will be when we all are working from home, and robots & computers are doing all the heavy lifting.

      Jack, our resident Commie escaped his padded cell and upvoted himself 75 times.

        Comrade Agent,
        You are hilarious. I mean, where do you come up with these zingers? You have everybody rolling. Seriously, the funniest Longview, TX agent ever! And how many times do I have to tell you I don’t vote out here? So, in the funny department, you are phenomenal. In the memory department, not so much. People, draw your correlations and conclusions however you wish.

          Comrade Planet, you have made your record on posts for several years now. You seem to prefer Communism over Capitalism as evidenced by every post. You also demean anyone with a Conservative viewpoint. Everyone knows where you are coming from. By the way, you are robbing your employer of work time. Hope he catches you soon. Computer audit time.

    These tiny hands are not representative of what you think. Call Sean Hannity, he knows. Oh, he knows. He knows bigly. BIGLY! You want to know who’s fat? Alicia Machado. What can I say? The girl likes to eat. I told her she better get her fat _$$ on the exercise bike. Then, I brought in the cameras to fat shame her. I motioned with my little fingers for the cameramen to get right in her face. The face she likes to feed so much. It was a beautiful thing. I am a beautiful thing. Even with these small mittens. Which are in no way representative. Call Hannity. Very against police judge. Wall.

    Drumpf actually had his doctor change his height from 6’2″ to 6’3″ so he doesn’t fall into the obesity category. WOW! I don’t think 70 year olds grow taller. Maybe he should stop eating all that fast food junk. And, perhaps, find an exercise bike like the one he shamed Machado into. This guy is a travesty to humanity!
