Enter The Tunnel Of Dogs

I haven’t gotten around to the latest issue of Reason, but I’m linking to the cover anyway. Why? Because while their focus on the War on Fat is admirable, I’m willing to bet – before even reading the issue – that they haven’t covered what seems to be the most promising treatment for the obesity epidemic.

I refer, of course, to the practice of running away from dogs.

Send us details of your heart-rate, body fat and medical history, and our experts will select the right dog for you. The dog is carefully weighted to match your overall speed and fitness. As you improve, simply remove the weights and the dog becomes progressively faster. Before the dog is released it is put in a cage and taunted. It is poked repeatedly with a stick until it is absolutely livid. Then, and only then, is it released to chase you.
