Canned Bacon Guarantees Full Heart Failure in 24 Hours

Remember the canned cheeseburgers? Now you can make yours even more yummylicious with canned 100% US bacon, cooked and ready to eat. Actually, forget the burger: make your own bacon sandwich using two additional layers of bacon instead of bread. Each can contains all the vitamins and minerals you need to keep a healthy life while pretending to work in front of the computer, and you can even use the remaining fat to polish iPhones and assorted gadgets.

DocoMo Shows off a Halitosis- and Fat-Detecting Concept Cell

The Wellness phone is about as mean as you can get. A concept that DoCoMo has been only too happy to show off at CEATEC this week, the cell measures how bad your breath is on a scale of 1 to 10 — zero presumably means you're dead — and how overweight you are. There are other health-related features as well, such as a calorie counter and pedometer. Is this the saddest phone concept ever made? Probably. [GearFuse via MobileMentalism]

Canadians Get Reinforced Ambulance for the Obese


Canadian Paramedics can breathe a sigh of relief, unbuckle their corset belts and cancel their chiropractor's appointments - if they work in Calgary, that is. The city has taken delivery of an ambulance designed to get its obese citizens to hospital with as little stress and strain as possible - provided they don't tip the scales at more than 1000 lbs.

Stem Cells Key to Bigger Boobies

Who here is a girl/knows a girl who wants implants, but gets spooked by the whole silicone aspect? Well it looks like a couple of Japanese scientists have got your back. Their plan is to combine fat from your thigh with some stem cells. Then they take the "soup" and inject it into each of your mammaries. And presto chango you've got yourself a new rack that looks like pretty damn natural, since it's all you. Leave it Japan to take cutting edge medical tech, and turn it into a way to get bigger boobs.

Slim Down Without Working Out With Ultrashape

A new technology called Ultrashape gives plastic surgeons a non-invasive way to get the fat out of your body. Instead of cutting you open and sucking out the lard, Ultrashape uses ultrasound to "break down" fat cells so your body can expel them the next time you expel something. Sounds a bit like the side effects of eating chips with Olestra. More »

Nintendo Says You Need To Be In Shape To Play The Wii

It's Wii-Day+8 and gamers around the country are simultaneously discovering one thing: they're wildly out of shape. Yup, it seems that many gamers have gotten a bit more than they bargained for regarding how vigorous playing the Nintendo Wii is. One girl described it as "harder than playing basketball" while another complained of sore muscles. You know how Nintendo responded to these complaints? More »

Fat Legged Table Routes Wires

Although this would work better in a desk instead of a square dining room-like table, the idea is still sound. The table features one fat leg with holes in the top and bottom so you can route your various computer, monitor, and USB wires through without cluttering up your workspace. More »

Shape Up Adviser Reminds You That You're Fat

We know we're hopelessly outta shape. Ever since our deep frying discovery, we've been packing on the pounds, so the last thing we need is another gadget that tells us what a tub of lard we are. But if you're looking for that kinda reminder, the Shape Up Adviser lets you record and keep track of your daily calorie intake. It can also show you how to properly perform exercises should you ever (gasp) hit the gym. Maybe if it had a built-in cam that allowed us to snap pics of that hot girl on the treadmill, we'd be on to something. Otherwise it's out in Japan for $26 clams. Fried clams. Mmmm. More »

Lasers Burn Fat, Acne

With a little luck, they'll have a home version of this soon. Basically, they've found that lasers can burn up body fat and cellulite, making you beautiful through the magic of highly concentrated energy. The same system can also be used to reduce plaque in the arteries and burn away sebaceous glands that cause acne. So far they've tried this on pig skin, but considering my recent weight gain, they might want to try it on me. More »

Citizen Scale Measures Internal Organ Fat


There are two ways of looking at fat in America: either we are too obsessed with it, or not nearly obsessed enough. This lovely HM7000 scale from Citizen fits in the latter category. It not only measures fat, but the fat levels of your internal organs, basal metabolic rate, inner body age (say what?), amount of muscle and estimated bone density. Yes, but can I put my morning Twinkies on the scale and have it tell me exactly how much weight I will gain from eating them both in one bite? Well? More »

The Soprano Life Jacket

Being fit is overrated these days. Like gay hairdressers, fat is the new black, it seems, and some of the more emaciated of you might feel ill at ease at the beach. What with being surrounded by all that rotundity, a few of you may even feel the need to revert to somewhat desperate measures to camouflage yourselves among the crowd. You might even consider Swedish designer Thomas Bernstrand's latest creation, the belly life-jacket "Sopranos". More »
