Yesterday in the dentists' waiting room, I read a disgusting Wall Street Journal article (I'm not subscribed online anymore, so don't ask for a link, or any detail) about that weird stomach-stapling surgery that Carnie Wilson got. American health insurance companies, in their wisdom, won't cover managed weight-loss programs but they will pay for you to have intestines removed and your stomach surgically shrunk if you're 100 pounds or more overweight. People are desperate to get this surgery, so if their doctors tell them they're not overweight enough to qualify, some of them go home and stuff their faces until they meet the guidelines.

That's weird enough. But the article also mentioned these facts:
* Al Roker has had this surgery.
* After having this surgery, a person can only eat small amounts of food at one time, or s/he vomits.

I note that Al Roker has a food show, where he "takes his love of food and his fascination with people across America." Just don't love food more than a little at a time, or you'll puke on the guests.
