There are times when I am convinced that world leaders should be comfortably housed in a lunatic asylum. This is one.

Global terrorism was a real threat but posed far less risk than obesity, type two diabetes and smoking-related illnesses, US law professor Lawrence Gostin said at the Oxford Health Alliance Summit here.
"Ever since September 11 we've been lurching from one crisis to the next which has really frightened the public," Gostin told AFP later. "While we've been focussing so much attention on that we've had this silent epidemic (http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=) of obesity that's killing millions of people around the world and we're devoting very little attention to it and a negligible amount of money."
It's a nugget in there. More money. The 'leaders' want money, and a lot of it. They can't get money for nothing, so they'll figure out some sort of horrible public threat to get more money.
How many kids has obesity shot in the back? How many trains bombed? How many planes has obesity flown into buildings? How many beheadings, stonings, flayings, hangings?
