Michelangelo’s David Fat
The usually sculpted David has been recreated to show what would have happened to his ordinarily chiseled abs had he lived his life the way the majority of our society does today.
The “If you don’t move, you get fat” campaign is found in Hamburg and is creative genius of ad agency, Scholz & Friends, for the German Olympic Sport Federation.
This is simply fantastic! No word on where it is located exactly or for how long the pieces will be on display. That’s the beauty of the internet though; a clever marketing campaign like this would have been lost a few decades ago, but with the help of the web, a viral display like this can instantly make the global rounds.
Had David been an immobile, donut-eating, Frappucino-slurping Renaissance man, he never would never have become the muse of Michelangelo in the early 1500s.
Chocolate Cake Breakfast Could Help You Lose Weight
I knew it!
Eating chocolate cake as part of a full breakfast can help you lose weight, say scientists.

Researchers split 193 clinically obese, non-diabetic adults into two groups who consumed either a low-carb diet that included a 300-calorie breakfast or a balanced 600-calorie breakfast that included a chocolate cake dessert.Halfway through the 32-week study both groups had lost an average of 33 lbs per person. But in the second half of the study the low-carb group regained an average of 22 lbs per person – while the dessert gorgers lost another 15 lbs each.
