I'll Take My Chances

High-fructose corn syrup is no longer the latest scapegoat when it comes to American obesity. According to a study conducted at Northwestern University, Bible study can make you fat.

Researchers mention "the sedentary nature of prayer" as a possible culprit.

There's always The Rosary Workout.

Parents, pray that your kids don't pay attention to the "news." This story is all over the place today. If they see it, they'll have more ammo in the "But church is so boooooooooooring" battle. Now they'll tell you that it'll make them fat.

I'll take that risk. And I think my kids will be better for it.

Grasping at straws - it's all in the hand to mouth action.

There are studies for everything these days. How absurd. I will say that perhaps we contribute to the results by our bad habit of eating out after Mass. ;)

Oh my, too funny {if it weren't so sad}. I wonder who funded this study, satan himself, lol!
