Wombat Rampant

Most of you who have known me for any length of time are aware of my tendency to point and laugh at the "environmental movement" and Earth Day.

Bayer's Didget Blood-Sugar Monitor Attaches to Nintendo DS, Enticing Kids to Manage Health | Popular Science:

Interesting concept, and it could be a great tool for controlling childhood obesity as well. Kids aren't dumb, and they can figure out cause and effect just fine. When you show them how having super-high blood glucose messes them up (and super-low, ditto) it might be easier to get them to make smarter choices about the stuff they're shoveling into their pieholes. Of course, Type I diabetic kids have a stronger incentive than most kids to stay on top of this, and the ones who won't or can't learn tend to die.
