The Diet Detective's Fat Clock is ticking away.

The Diet Detective's Fat Clock is keeping track of how much weight Americans are gaining each second. If it's at all accurate, it's alarming to watch it keep gaining pounds.

"This data indicated that men and women had a combined average weight of 167.2 lbs by 1994, and this average grew to 176.4 pounds by 2002. Assuming a steady linear trend of weight gain over time, Americans appeared to have gained an average of 1.15 pounds per year from 1994 to 2002."
