Just for fun - where does the fat go?



Recommended Posts

Into the air apparently! I earned a C- in chemistry in high school so this was news to me.

I suppose it makes for a nice meditation. Every time you exhale, you're breathing a little bit of that nasty fat out of your body. :lol:

I think about this a lot while I'm swimming and focusing on my breathing. It is pretty fun. :P

LOL. I read this a while back, and thought it was terribly interesting.

This is my favorite quote:

Yes, we exhale lost fat. There it helps plants photosynthesize (if you're feeling noble) and contributes to global warming (if you're feeling guilty).

Ah, but then they'll compare the amount of carbon dioxide that's produced per pound of fat and compare it to the amount of corn products we needed to consume to STAY fat and I'm willing to bet our personal carbon footprint will reduce our individual contributions to climate change, making us greener citizens!

Science :)

But, what about the fact that the obese die earlier and therefore leave a smaller carbon footprint. You have to take that into consideration: Politically Correct SCIENCE ;-)
