police work cause of obesity




while their voracious appetite for donuts of american cops are well documented, i wasn't aware it was a worldwide phenomenon.

according to this article, policemen in mumbai are also reluctant to resist the donut (or the indian equivalent of it). mumbai police department offered extra cash for those who can keep weight under a threshold. only 45 of the 38000 bothered to apply.

keep in mind, india has one of the highest percentage of malnourished children in the world. yet, police force is struggling to keep their waist lines in check.

maybe there is a correlation or causation.
quick yahoo search yielded no research of this sort.
