How Parisians Stay Thin

"David A. Edwards, Professor of the Practice of Biomedical Engineering Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences is the lead creator of Le Whif. 

The Le Whif team believe that Le Whif has “rediscovered the act of eating.” The process shouldn't be confused with smelling the chocolate - the mouth is used to inhale a fine chocolate powder which enters your mouth and remains there. It’s been pointed out that the joy of chocolate is in eating it; otherwise people would have been sniffing the stuff instead, or possibly going in for a dose of cocoa powder. However, the Le Whif team believe this is “a great way to curb your appetite” and say that “chocolate is only the beginning” - even envisioning a future where we might be inhaling our food three times a day.

In the 200 milligrams of fine chocolate powder contained in Le Whif there is only one calorie. Having almost zero calories, they believe it could also be used as a dieting tool."

They forgot that chewing is fun too

You can buy some inhalers here 

Delicious!

Hmm this is gross too..

So I was driving to work this morning and listening to WOR710 on AM radio..no..not because im 55 years old, but because I could not bear to listen to Lady GAGA sing poker face on loop anymore, and I don't even know whose show I was listening to but they were discussing a letter that PETA had sent to the, vegetarian, Mayor of Newark, NJ. In this letter they asked him to ban the construction of all new fast food restaurants in Newark, citing that the availability of and the proximity to fast food restaurants causes obesity in children (and adults).

So the argument was and still is..whose fault is it that people are obese? Is it the fast food restaurants fault because it exists...or is it the consumers fault for..well consuming? I think economics prove the relationship between supply and demand here...if no one was demanding whoppers..would Burger King still be making them? Probably not. If people stopped eating at McDonald's they would probably stop opening new franchises. I think in this day and age, no one can say they didn't know a Big Mac would make them fat.. I think we're all pretty educated about what we are eating, and if we are not then thats where parents' and the governments focus should be.

Anyway I think PETA is nuts, and no way should Government be controlling any of this anymore than they already are because even though off hand it seems like a great quick solution to a problem we dont know how to solve...but in the end I think it would just be a gateway for government to grow and get bigger and control even more than they already do. The mayor of Newark could tell us about the pro's of being a vegetarian, and the cons of eating fast food, but no way should he actually be controlling what people eat. If they want to be fat, let them, and if you dont want them to be fat, educate them to not want it themselves and we can end the demand.

Ugh...dont freedom fries mean anything anymore?
