Americans put a ridiculously high priority on not being fat, according to a survey reported by the Washington Post.
An excerpt:
"Almost half of Americans would give up a year of their life to avoid being fat, according to a recent survey.
"The online survey of 4,283 of Americans ages 13 to 79 also found that
"between 15 percent and 30 percent would rather leave their marriage, give up the possibility of having children, be depressed or become an alcoholic than be obese.
"Five percent said they would rather lose a limb, and
"4 percent said they would rather be blind."
