It is not as simple as 60% of adults are obese, so obese kids will have a 60% probability of growing into obese adults. One issue is the size of the populations in each case, the adults one is much larger. Further the adults percentage depends on the obesity stats of several generations, all the way back to say the 1930s and later. It is entirely possible that kids today have a much higher chance of remaining obese. A better comparison (for example) would be to compare kids obesity with young adult obesity, since the two are closer in time/habits/culture .. anyway I'd also like to see links to studies disproving Type2 diabetes incidents rising, connections with obesity etcetera.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454984.post-1119283025523543752005-06-20T08:57:00.000-07:002005-06-20T08:57:00.000-07:00Hi Lisa,I've been looking into sorting myself out ...Hi Lisa,<BR/><BR/>I've been looking into sorting myself out with some sort of web-accessible calendar, which I could access via iCal (on my powerbook), a.n. other client (on my work windows machine) and via the web (for out-and-about), and was shocked to discover that in this day and age, there STILL exists no IETF-ratified calendaring standard.<BR/><BR/>Having done my homework, I eventually found your draft RFC on the CalDAV standard, and I must say I heartily agree with your design, and the leveraging of the existing WebDAV standards.<BR/><BR/>I am therefore considering writing a prototype application using Jakarta Slide as a basis, and implementing an (AJAX-enabled) web front end, but thought i'd ask you first of all if you know of any existing CalDAV implementations, or any works in progress worth looking at. I'm a Java guy usually, but am open to looking at new stuff (Ruby on Rails perhaps?)<BR/><BR/>Let me know what you think, anyway.<BR/><BR/>Kindest regards<BR/><BR/>Rory Sinclair<BR/>rory@mungler.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
