Invest in weight-loss businesses in Asia

Why I think it's a great investment. Asians incorporate more Western food into their daily diet. This makes millions of them gain fat and become more obese every year. I read in Japan 27 million people already suffer from obesity. There are more than a billion Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Thais and Malaysians and thus the growth potential for weight-loss businesses is huge. I think it's smart to invest in Asian fat!

Ridiculous way to monitor weight

What can be more ridiculous than a weight monitor chair that beeps, vibrates, cracks, moans or otherwise improvises its frustration with every new bite that adds a few extra unwelcome grams to your total weight. Basically, you sit on the chair to eat your lunch/dinner. The chair measures your weight before you indulge your appetite. 90 kilos. Right! Why don't you have a few more bites? 90.5 kilos, Silence..91, beep..91.2, small vibrations..91.5, cracking sounds, 92..loud moans..93, all modes of frustration-expression set loose..100, chair breaks down..there can be many ridiculous ways to lose weight, but few funnier than the one of which I speak. I rest my case..

trim fat for less tax

if trimming fat should always be rewarded in a recession then for every kilo an obese child loses, parents get a tax break. if weight is regained, tax rates go up again. any loss in tax revenues gets recovered from reduced health care costs. if we require principles that are easy to understand and healthy to implement, let's swap fat for tax then! :)

big fat tummies

why are so many opera singers big and fat? does it help their singing or is it a coincidence? I don't know if it helps with the singing or whether it has to do with keeping one's mouth open for too long that it leads to the habit of taking big mouthfuls. I can see though how a big fat tummy can develop if diet can't be controlled. perhaps an unintended consequence of opera singing?

Do I look fat?

Why am I always asked this question by girls who are much thinner than me? Why do I have to look as if I'm the one with the fat when I'm quite slim for my height? Why don't these fat-obsessed skinny girls stop asking Me this question? Every time they ask me, I look myself in the mirror after. I don't want to but I tend to. If I have a bad day I tell them they put on weight. I don't want to be mean but I can't help it. If I must be asked, I just wish it was done by someone who is not thinner than me. What are the chances that I'll be asked by someone with serious fat issues? None so far...

Do liposuction centers sell the fat they extract?

I read on the news that the creators of Earthrace, a trimaran that runs on bio-fuel such as soybeans, veggie oil or animal fat did liposuction and contributed 10 litters of their human fat to their next journey. The amount is enough for 15 kilometers of travel. If human fat can power bio-fuel engines, what do liposuction centers do with the fat they extract every day? Do they sell it? Seriously, does anybody know?

What about creating a new machine that measures weight and for those who are overweight it will reduce the weight to the desired level by sucking the fat out (through some kind of liposuction technique probably).

Those who are underweight, well, stop smoking and start eating!

OKAY, I have had this idea for a long time now. It is silly and kinda ridiculous, but if it can be turned into a real product, it can be a blockbuster.
