If it gets really bad, we can expect another "great leap forward" just to thin up the population.
(yes, that is perhaps one of the most twisted things I have ever written on these forums. Sorry about that thirty million dead people)

How interesting - I think the opposite - keeping in good health is an indicator of wisdom.
I believe it stems from a logcial train of thought:
If you are fat, you eat a lot of food.
Food cost money.
Therefore, you are rich.
Rich people must have gotten the money somehow.
If you worked for it, to get so much you must be wise.
Therefore, fat = wise.

Koroser - YOU are wise. Well said.
And Michael moore isn't that bad. Some of what he says is really screwed up but he does make a few good points
