By Andrew Leigh, published 31/7/2009

Would you trust an economist to tell you how to lose weight?

This is an encouraging,at last economists are bringing some rigour into the notoriously unscientific economics industry,economics might even become a science one day.

Yes Mac so true it may well become a science particularly because no one in economics agrees with anyone else. Interesting ideas though, thinking outside the square and all that.

The really amusing one is restaurants having to label a meal with the kilojoule content, I mean really, wouldn't that take the joy of eating out occasionally? Just pick and then feel guilty for the rest of the night out..... Of course that would be if anyone actually read the kilojoule content.

What about the chefs, they are cranky enough as it is......well what can I say another bloody invasion into peoples lives.

What about making the work place happier so people are more inclined to be more mobile when they come home rather that just plain tired and bloody well stuffed.

Stop beating the poor buggers around the head for just trying to keep up with their workload instead of continually reminding them how they are going wrong in their lives..

Hmmm
Would television eating have anything to do with the advertising I wonder? I would have liked to have seen them have a group who got rid of their tv for the duration of the study. I bet they would lose the most.
