coincedence?

I was doing some light reading this morning on my phone. One of the top stories on MSN was a report that Teenage Sex was at an all-time low.
In 2005, 47 percent of high school students — 4.6 million — reported having had sexual intercourse, down from 54 percent in 1991.

I think that is a good thing, but at what cost? Linked to that same article at the bottom was the next article. Now of course the two articles are separate, but it does make you wonder. I suppose that a correlation could be found.

...It comes amid a growing worldwide epidemic of child obesity. By 2010, almost 50 percent of children in North America and 38 percent of children in the European Union will be overweight, the researchers said.

Of course this isn't the whole story. I admit freely that I didn't lose my virginity till after high school. Weighing in at a buck nineteen, I wouldn't exactly call me overweight. But I have to wonder... Fat kids or Preggers... I pick fat. :)

I didn't lose my virginity until college :):)

I was supposedly "fat" in high school oh and don't forget "smart", so there is your correlation. :)
