China is Fat

The People's Republic of China is following in the USA footsteps and getting fat. Experts say that Chinese soldiers are getting significantly chubbier. According to a report in the PLA Daily, a new study finds China’s soldiers are, on average, two centimeters taller and have waistlines five centimeters broader than 20 years ago. The fatter servicemen are now in need of bigger equipment because they don't fit into the tanks designed for the human body 30 years ago.

Super Bowl Sex Trafficking

Sixteen children, ages ranging from 13-17, were called in missing by their families last weekend. The FBI made a crackdown on sex trafficking surrounding the Super Bowl weekend. In child exploitation cases like this, law enforcement officials said operations are designed to remove the young victims from a life of exploitation and abuse. The young people were taken by pimps facing emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. "This is the most recoveries we've had at one time", Michael Osborne of the FBI's Violent Crimes Against Children Unit told ABC News.
