A friend of a friend just died after having a gastric bypass surgery. I got curious, so I looked it up:
1. In 2005 about 150K such surgeries were performed.
2. The mortality rate after a month is about .5-2%....
So if I go with a 1% death rate, that is 1500 Americans dying each year because they are fat like a pig!!! More deaths than the casualties in Iraq or of course caused by marihuana overdose. (which is zero)
So if food is this dangerous to you, shouldn't it be illegal???
