Crystal Bell: 'Revenge' Finale Recap: The Most Shocking Death Ever
BritChick Paris: I'm 38 and Want a Baby - Is it Too Late?
Well, here's a self-confidence booster -- you're not short and fat, you're just highly evolved. According to a study by Yale researchers, humans are still evolving, and women are evolving to become shorter and fatter. It is estimated that in 10 generations, women will be two centimeters shorter, weigh one kilogram (around 2.5 lbs.) more, and look back and wonder what kind of freakish monster Angelina Jolie was. ("What are these jeans called 'long' from the Gap?)
But we won't just be jolly little trolls, we'll also be healthier, with the study expecting women to have lower cholesterol and better heart health, start menopause later, and have more children earlier in life. The study observed over 2,000 medical histories from Framingham Heart Studies in Massachusetts. Shorter, heavier women have more children, who also grow up to be shorter and heavier.
Let's also not forget that in addition to shrinking downward while expanding outward, we'll all also have super-hot faces. Short, fat, healthy and hot. Totally awesome.

Well in the continental US, women are MARGINALLY fatter then men are. It's because their metabolism is worse then men, but this is also along with children. Children are getting fatter, but women stay fatter. BTW "carol", there might be guys who like "a little extra love".......and by that the guy is 6 to 12 inches tall, vibrates, and is named Double-A.

I live near a town where there is a huge Mexican population and I can definitely say that most Mexican men, women, and children are short and fat. The fact that their numbers are growing in the U.S. makes sense in reference to this study. However, I don't believe that caucasians are shrinking.

Shorter, fater, children earlier, and pretty faces...that sounds exactly like the 50 and 60's. So not much is changing...we are going in a circle.

The change in height/weight are so small! Look at it! It says "two centimeters shorter". Has anyone looked at a ruler lately? Two centimeters is a very small amount, as is 2.5 lbs. People can gain that much after eating a couple of big meals and it wouldn't be noticeable either.

Teresa, if you have shrunk an inch, you might want to check for Osteoporosis.

A 2,000 patient history case study from MA? That's where they get the idea that women will be shorter and heavier? I seriously doubt the results from such a limited study. There could be regional statistical variations that factor in to the results. A study done in the 48 continental U.S. states taking into account lifestyles in both suburban and urban locations would produce a more believeable result.

I to have to agree most of the Mexican women around here older then 30 are short and fat. In Fact one latino male told me that he just goes back to old Mexico and gets a new young girl when his wife gets old and fatter. Then he starts all over again. Not the way I want to live. I try not to go by Physical beauty but by the person inside.

Good grief!! Do these nuts that have nothing better to do than try to predict the future think we really believe it or even care if they are right? I guess it's a good way to make a buck. Who really cares if we going to bew shorter or fatter? If they would quit loading our foods with hormones and chemicals we might be more "normal" weight and height. If mankind hangs around another few centuries I don't think the height or weight will be their main concern. They very well might be concerned about surviving nuclear fall out, water contamination, solar heat, and very well may have to live underground like moles to avoid the consequences of our damage to this planet, but I don't think they will have time to worry about much except surviving. Frankly I'm glad I won't be here to endure it, God knows it's hard enough now to exist on this planet.

You may think that I am simply being racist and write this off as the ramblings of a racist. I want you to know, I may be a racist but I bring up solid points, that everyone should be able to understand if they read the entire comment.
I agree that the smart people (whites) are not producing as much as the blacks, mexicans, and asians. This does explain why people would be short, fat, and ugly in the future, if those are the races that will populate the future. At this point with the polution and cult of personality that sociaty has we will undoubtedly become an aweful "uni-race" because people are promoting that interracial relationships are okay, and not a vial act. Now the reasoning behind the shorter, fatter, and uglier look is simply because that the whites are the tall, skinny, good looking people.
Where a white couple has 2 children, a black, mexican, asian, or mixed couple has 6-10 children. This is not "evolution" it's simply a numbers game, blacks, mexicans, and asians upped their numbers and whites are still keeping their's steady.

Yes, David you are very correct. It's easy to see that the white race is a vanishing breed. Somone once said, "to eliminate racism, you breed it out" that's just what we have been watching happen. Of course we all know we are labeled,"racist, biggoted and discriminatory" if we even mention the results of this kind of breeding. Whites are a disappearing breed and are supposed to shut up and accept it graciously. While animal activistist fight tooth and nail to "save" a species, no one is paying attention to the "human" condition.

Don't generalize saying that white people are "smart". There are smart whites and unintelligent whites just like in every other race (it's called the deep south). I've seen both sides of the spectrum (i've been to mostly black/hispanic schools as well as almost 100% white schools). How people behave and how intelligent they are, regardless of race, is usually based on their surroundings and the education they are offered. Almost all of the blacks in my school are very intelligent and quite a few of the white students... well they do a lot of stupid things and their intelligence can be questioned. As for the ugly I have no comment except maybe you should look inside yourself cause you may be uglier than you think. I was friendless all through elementary and middle school because wasn't "black enough" but I didn't change who I was and ended up at a really amazing school where I have the opportunity to learn more than I did at my public school. Some people act stupid to fit in but that doesn't make them stupid as in mentally incapable. I do agree with you saying that blacks, asains, and hispanics as a whole have more children. So you can have that one =D. FYI i'm 16, black, tall, and pretty good looking if I must say so myself... so =P

David, does your survey include the octomom or Kate +8, or the Duggans?

David, you are an embarrassment to white people. You certainly are not smart, totally disproving that whites are the "smart people." Why don't you and Mallie0333 get together, breed, and build up our dying white race. Yeah, I'm sure all 100 million babies you two will pump out will be beautiful, tall, and thin. Don't ever speak for whites again. Get a grip and shut it!

I'm okay with being tall and thin and have even received compliments for it (although sometimes I don't know why)...besides, my parents are both really tall, so it would have been genetically difficult for them to have short offspring. I think every figure type has it's own unique beauty, as well as its unique health pro's and con's. For example, people like me generally have to worry less about cholesterol and we get to eat more (even though weight often has nothing to do with that), but we tend to have flimsy, loose joints and poor eye-hand coordination. I imagine that at least the "future" women will have stronger joints. But the bottom line is, no one has the right to make anyone else feel bad because of her build..We are all beautiful the way God made us, and the world would be boring if everyone looked alike.

I think the great influx of illegal hispanics in the US may have something to do with this........the women all all short fat and pregnant - producing the next generation of short, fat pregnant illegals.
