Could it be worse?

YES!
Tim says invest in heavy-duty seats.

     In case you missed it, a new study* projects obesity in the states in 2030, and Alabama's figure is 62.6. No, that's not the average waistline, it's the percentage of the populations that will be fat.
     And Alabama is ranked only 6th in the nation. There are five other states that will have even fatter populations by then.
     It is also a fiscal problem. The report details the cost to states for all of that fat.
     The financial winners? Manufacturers of extra strong seating, cloth manufacturers, and funeral directors. Everybody else loses everything, except, of course, weight.
