War on obesity

We, the bellies of the United States of America, need to combat our population's obesity. I propose that we invent a small, taste-rewarding food that expands twice its size in our stomaches when consumed before water (the reactor). The size expansion could be attributed to the creation of air pockets, like bread when it rises, or of a product that reacts similar to helium inflating a balloon, or of something similar to a toy miniature grow creature. Not sure what the end-result (no pun intended) would be with all of that air floating around, but we need to jump on this.

Invention

Written here is an Alan Kay quotation that has been resting on my mind for the past several half-hours. "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." Perhaps I'll come up with my own twist on this idea later--but that depends on whether or not I choose to ponder life or live life this grand evening.
