Finishing up school-work and some notes on that, you'll get your bleeding post tomorrow *shakes fist*

Spent seven hours, today, working on a paper about teen obesity and suicidal behavior and all sorts of stuff. It wasn't a whole lot of fun, but it was illuminating. I guess I should say that I spent about four or five hours, today, rereading notes and going back over resources and looking up copyright information on books. I only spent two or three writing the paper itself. It is not necessarily a happy paper, and part of me wonders if I took the right track. The track I took was that teen obesity leads to adult obesity and can cause a number of problems. The numbers, though, really are not quite what was expected and I equally could have taken the "teen obesity is only really a problem in a certain subset of cases based on whole lifestyle choice". Some of my resources are more on the latter track, but really, even from a guy who knows that fat people get crapped on more than they deserve; my gut says that teen obesity is largely a marketing and management problem (as in caused by suits who make parents work longer hours and feed kids the crappiest food ever in the prettiest boxes), and we need to get the parasites out of our kid's minds so our teens can grow up healthier and with more self-respect.

Anyhow, you should get a better, longer post tomorrow. My eyes are blurry and my brain is swimming.

Si Vales, Valeo
