Question: If Santa consumed even one-millionth of the goodies kids set out for him at many homes throughout the world, his large girth would be easily accounted for. How might dietary scientists weigh in on this?
Answer: Thousands of years ago, being able to store large quantities of energy-dense fuel in the form of adipose (fatty) tissue spelled survival when food was scarce, says Roger Highfield in "The Physics of Christmas: From the Aerodynamics of Reindeer to the Thermodynamics of Turkey." But today's plentiful food and sedentary lifestyles have nixed all that, bringing on an obesity health crisis. (Note Santa's hardworking trimmer-slimmer elf- mates.)

This is more than a summer camp," said Kim Thomas-Barrios, executive director of the camp that is free to the students. "This is driven by one man's desire to create a pathway to math and science professions.
He explained, "So far I've learned how to make electromagnets with wire and a battery, and I've learned how to make things out of bottles and little electric motors. I've also learned about aerodynamics, and how to program a robot to do certain things and pick up stuff, to change different directions and have sound sense and sight sense to the point where it can see the object that it's supposed to pick up."
"We also learned about kinetic energy and potential energy," added groupmate [Zack Ferrin], who says he likes the camp because of all the fun experiments they are able to do....
