Wow! if you really wanted to lose weight, there’s really only one place to go!

quoted from the Canadian Press:

Geophysicists from the University of Toronto and Harvard analyzed data from a pair of satellites designed to measure the Earth’s gravitational field, zeroing in on Canada where the pull of gravity is abnormally low.

It seems that we Canadians weigh less than our American counterparts, not because of a healthier diet, nor because of excercise, but because of a glacier that left the area tens of thousands of years ago!

Here I was, visiting my sister-in-law in Washington D.C., took a quick peek at the scale they had and thought I’d see how my diet was coming along, shocked to discover I had gained weight instead of losing it, I decide to not eat any more food for the duration of my visit.

It’s too bad the visit was over and we were already on our way home, but I digress. Seems I didn’t actually gain wait while I was in D.C., but that the amount I weighed there was higher than I weighed here (Montreal, Quebec, Canada) becuase we have a different gravity than our cousins to the south!

All it takes to lose weight it to move north of the border, suddenly you wont have your friends calling you fatso anymore and no more fat jokes!
