WASHINGTON—Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson announced earlier this morning that the nation's growing obesity trend was finally starting to reverse itself. According to Thompson, the nation "took the stairs today."
"I know we've put on a few extra pounds in recent weeks," said Thompson at an impromptu press conference, "but we've made an important change in the right direction."
Thompson added that the nation was good and only ate one chocolate-chip cookie to celebrate Cheryl's birthday.
