There is a great deal of irony in a theme park built by a candy company that has about five roller coasters with seats so narrow that your average overweight American can't fit into them. But in Hershey, Pennsylvania there is such a park, with singing animatronic cows that espouse the virtues of chocolate. On one wooden coaster, a mildly obese man in front of us waited over an hour only to find that his posterior would not fit into the seat. It was pretty sad watching him try for over a minute to wiggle into the seat, only to be met with defeat. This is why I am suggesting the new "You must be this high and no wider than this to ride this ride" signs. Currently 10% of the US population has been diagnosed with diabetes, and another 40% have pre-diabetes. In ten years time, I believe we will look at sugar like we do cigarettes. That means creepy windowless rooms in airports where you'll have to go if you want to indulge in a Milky Way.
