Doctors Want a Fatter America
A report issued by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) shows that American primary care physicians are not advising their patients to lose weight. In fact, only 40% of doctors told patients to slim down in 2000, which, according to the CDC, is a 42.5% drop from 1994.
See? Now this just proves our theory that the American Medical Association is in league with the snack food industry. We should've seen this coming when we had a check-up and the doctor told us that we had dangerously low levels of frosting in our blood.
Or maybe America's doctors are just big time chubby chasers, and want a fatter country from which they can choose their sexual conquests. If we're right about that (and the latest in magic 8-ball technology says we are), then that's just sick! You hear us, you so-called medical "professionals"?! It's sick, and we're on to you!
