So I finally figured out why I'm fat! It's not because I'm lazy, or because I overeat, or that I drink beer like it's going out of style, or that my diet is worse than a group of first time Weight Watchers meeting participants... it's (are you ready for this?) because I chew too much gum! Don't believe me? Check it out:

If you don't feel like reading all of that, I've taken the liberty of highlighting the important parts (for my purposes, anyway) here:

And here I was thinking that chewing gum was helping the prevention of cavities and keeping my breath fresh! Those damned dentists don't tell you this part of the equation! So now I'm in a conundrum: stank breath and rotting teeth, or a bloated belly?
Thanks MSN... at least I chuckled when I read your article so I toned my transverse abdominus, I guess it could be worse...
