I couldn't help but notice that myself.  But I've heard rumors that 
treating diabetes or undergoing bypass surgery is even less fun.
The person I share my house with weighed 300 pounds until recently and 
now takes a large handful of pills every day, has lost part of her 
sight, underwent a series of surgeries to save what is left of her 
vision and can barely feel her feet.  Scared me right into a diet and 
exercise plan.
We may joke about heavy drivers, love our comfort and our food, but 
watching the effects of undiagnosed type 2 diabetes first hand has made 
me into an activist believer.
Besides cars go faster when they are lighter.  Something about power to 
weight ratio.
