Australians who are getting fat and flabby according to Federal Government research, can now get help from one of the fattest IT companies in the world Microsoft.
According to Microsoft’s home town web site the Seattle Tech Flash,the giant software company claims that it wants to help consumers understand how many calories are in food and what will happen to your waistline over a ten year period.

That’s the concept behind a newly surfaced Microsoft patent application Tech Flash claim, which proposes to motivate people to get healthy through a computer program that would project how they’ll look based on factors including their current diet, exercise routine and genetics.
“Many people out of sheer laziness refrain from partaking in physical activity and consume unhealthy food,” reads the application. “This avoidance is borne out by the soaring demographic of persons who can be classified as being obese and who continually and incessantly eat fast foods (e.g., hamburgers, french fries, pizza, hot dogs, etc.) and then proceed to ‘supersize’ the order for a marginal increase in price, for example. In most instances, if people were pictorially or visually made aware of the consequences of their choices and actions, many, if not most, would modify their behavior and life style selections to comport with a healthier body image.”
And YES this is from the same company that teamed with Burger King last week to celebrate the launch of Windows 7 in Japan with a seven-patty hamburger weighing in at more than 2,000 calories.
