Is Barack Obama “Too Fit” to be President?
I have zero interest in making this blog political, but this article from the Wall Street Journal is simply too stupid for words. I suppose the intent is to be tongue-in-cheek, but it’s an epic fail. Update: Gavin M. from “Sadly No” discovers how the author, Amy Chozick, did some of the “research” for her article....

The Atkins diet may have proved itself after all: A low-carb diet and a Mediterranean-style regimen helped people lose more weight than a traditional low-fat diet in one of the longest and largest studies to compare the dueling weight-loss techniques…Average weight loss for those in the low-carb group was 10.3 pounds after two...
