More changes...

Now where was I, oh yeah; I was standing on the soup box and getting all long winded on my readers...Quick recap for those who didn't catch last week. Average Joe eats a lot of food, works out a lot and is generally an energy and resource hog. I think that about covers it, but those that are still lost go here.

The next character in the month long ti raid is Slim Jim. Slim Jim has a little eating disorder that keeps him from extracting nutritional value of his food intake. Jim eats a mere 4,500 calories a day, more than enough to feed a small family of three. Jim is still able to maintain a stick like figure, but not because he has an active lifestyle or works out a lot. After surviving a bout with the stomach flu, Jim learned that by constant purging of his stomach he was able to eat anything he desired but never had to worry about his weight. His lack of nutrient uptake results in severe health conditions without excess bulk on his bones. Not only does he waste nutrients and food, the acidic regurgitation wreaks havoc on the sewage disposal system.

Skinny Sal has survived morbid obesity through the advancements in the medical profession and takes daily dietary supplements that will eventually kill his heart, kidneys and liver. At some point in his life he will put an increased strain on the community by needing constant medical supervisor and multiple organ transplants. But for now, he eats what ever he desires and how ever much he wants, since the medical mutants have enabled him to consume calories while he body either doesn't uptake them or burns them off in excess do to thermo-genetics.

And next week I will wrap it all up, thanks for checking back...
