This is Why Our Kids Are Fat

The University of Houston department of health and human performance is launching an international effort to recruit 500 participants for a study promoting healthy dietary habits and physical activity.  The research is aimed at helping people develop healthy eating and activity habits.

Great, right?!  Awesome, yes?!

The whole thing takes place in Second Life.

    Next week they’ll encourage folks to study healthy eating habits in a Krispy Kreme.

    Or, better yet, come up with a really yummy, double-fat Krispy Kreme with treadmills painted on to encourage an active lifestyle!

    I can’t believe they’re going to find 500 people in Second Life. Nobody “plays” that crappy “game.”
