So I'll get dementia. Not MY problem I think I'll use it as leverage on my kids.... behave or i'll drink another beer and be even more embarrassing when you have to look after me...

Drax, if your mom has to help you physically, then I'd say she's allowed to make comment on your weight. Other than that, find a store with online ordering and delivery

Furthermore, the research is not bullshit, although it may be being used as part of a scare tactic. The correletion between belly-fat and dementia does not imply causality. It may be the belly fat causes dementia. It maybe that the first symptom of dementia is belly fat. It may be another disiease entirely which has both belly fat and dementia as symptoms. They may be completely unrelated. This research is in it's early days and discovering the relationship is merely the first step. But calling it bullshit because you don't like the potential implications is imbecilic
