[Title] => Losing weight the easy way
[Summary] =>

In Japan where the old traditional sport sumo is popular, wrestlers are fed heavily and can weigh as much as 580 pounds. Seeing two heavyweights wrestling in an arena just slightly bigger than their tummies may be unsightly to some people. But to others, it is art, sport and religion rolled into one.
