Obesity SAVES A Life?

Only time will tell, but probably not. Obesity is still one of the leading causes of preventable death in the U.S., and the numbers are only getting worse. But that's not stopping Ronald Post from using his weight to try and keep him from being executed by the state of Ohio. You can read the whole story here. There are a few things I'm curious about, though. I'm no expert on prisons, but I don't think any of them offer buffets, do they? I mean, how did Post managae to gain 200 pounds in prison? And how did he manage to maintain a weight of 450 pounds while on death row? Is that something happens often? But kudos to Ronald Post for having the balls to attempt to use his poor health to prevent his death. Even if it works, I doubt gaining weight until you're almost a quarter of a ton is going to save anyone else's life. If you want to help save your own life, be active, eat smart, and get help some help if you need it. Oh, and don't commit any crimes, especially ones that might land you on death row.
