Reading........it's making me fat

Reading is making me fat. Reading is most likely gonna cause my veins to clog which will result in a stroke. I love to read. I can sit and read a good book for hours. Now I realize that I do have other interests also. I like to work with wood, fish, watch sports and car races. So I do get myself out of the chair to do some active things. I also have a small paper route which gives me my twenty minute walk six mornings a week. But reading is a passion. I'll read almost any kind of book. My favorite authors are Stephen Bly, Al Lacy, Clive Cussler, Diane Mott Davidson, and Janet Evanovich. Stephen Bly and Al Lacy also write with their wives. I'll read most any book except the "classics". My English teacher in High School ruined the classics for me by making me read "The Scarlet Letter". BORING. But I'm getting off the subject. Reading is making me fat and a candidate for a stroke because of one extra problem. When I read, I munch. When I munch, it's usually potato chips. Ask my family. Right now there are about 12-15 bags of potato chips in the house to feed my habit. Truely, I cannot read without munching. Read and munch...........Potato chips, Potato chips. Look at my easy chair. Wife calls it my nest. Book, bag of chips, and glass for my drink, cup for my coffee. I can sit their for a long, long, time.
