    I think most talk about obesity here is taking a decidedly
    un-Extropian point of view. Yes, there is a terrible tragedy
    here, but it's not that we aren't taking steps to curb obesity
    and extend our lives--the tragedy is that our present bodies
    are misdesigned in such a way that the sumptuous pleasures that
    are our very reason for wanting to live have disastrous side-
    effects. I have no interest at all in being a an emaciated
    exercise-obsessed 120-year-old human; I want to be a
    1000-year-old sexy glutton.
