Right now, we rely on our appetites to tell us when we're full, and
should stop eating tasty sammitches. If we can determine the cost of
obesity, then we could develop a market-based solution to the
problem... instead of eating less, we GET PAID for eating tasty
sammitches!
Not sure this one holds together, when viewed at the macro-level.
Note that this is my first posting of the morning, is probably
crustier than average, and should most likely be ignored.
