HeyDidYaKnow that Clay Aiken is gay?  Yeah, we did too.  He just formally announced it yesterday.  Ho-hum.  In more surprising news, the presence of westernized (fast) food shops has grossly affected the health of citizens in the famously healthy northern Mediterranean countries  where they traditionally dieted on fresh fish, vegetables, and low fat olive oil.  Especially within Greece, where people regularly lived to and past 100, where they had trim waist lines, where they had substantially lower cases of heart disease, diabetes and cancer than other western countries, they are now facing an obesity epidemic.  According to a UN study, reports of overweight 12 year old boys rose 200% from 1982 to 2002.  It has also been found that one in four children in Greece now have Cholesterol problems.
