Fat studies? Shouldn’t this be whale studies?

I wish Trump would pull all government funding of universities.

Add “hangnailism”, “sneezeism”, “walkingism”, “sleepingism” or any other worthless “ism” there is! The left coast can’t fall off into the ocean quickly enough!

He’s absolutely right that diets don’t work. The eat less, move more, low fat, high carb, calorie restricted plan has a proven success rate of under five percent.

“Body size isn’t a good indicator of health, she argues.”

So, how many fat 80 year-olds do we see?

Patti Lou Watkins, who penned an articlein European Health Psychologist, which argued that humans can be healthy at any body weight...

I've had a BMI for some time that places me just barely in the "overweight" classification.But in spite of that (or because of it) several physicians at one of the world's most famous hospitals are telling me that my "overweight" status has harmed me,and *is* harming me,in several important ways.

So,Patti,Harvard Medical School seems to disagree with your claim.

It is past time to flush George Soros and his “Social Justice” bullshit down the toilet of history.

We have seen this template of victimology selectively applied to race, gender, ethnicity, religion.

First, make the point that group ‘X’ has no responsibility for the negative outcomes the group experiences. They are innocent blameless victims unable to fully participate because...wait for it....old white men took their stuff and they aint got enough.

The template has been so successful its being used at every opportunity. Now its time for the lard asses of the world to unite and point the finger of blame while denying any need for personal change.

Watch out Col Sanders you are the poster child for all that ails US.Youre old white male and southern.

Be fun to watch the blubber people indict you while chomping down a bucket of extra crispy.

Is taking weight advice from a morbidly obese professor like taking sobriety advice from an active alcoholic?

Being obese is not detrimental to health? Then how come they can barely walk any more once they hit about 50 or so? To the extent that the obese do ambulate, it’s this pathetic side to side kinda thing and not a straight ahead walk.

Very sad that people do this to themselves through a lack of self control. Even sadder that an education group would escuse and encourage it.

which argued that humans can be healthy at any body weight

They can argue this if they want but it does not make it true. I have a morbidly overweight S-I-L who has had both knees replaced because they were just plain worn out. She can't walk up a single flight of stairs without having to take a couple of minutes to recover at the top. She is NOT healthy. What is a common exercise such as taking out the garbage, is a major stress on her heart. She is NOT healthy. And she is doing nothing about it.

OK, its her call, but don't expect me to sit next to her on an airplane.

Those with a body mass index, or BMI, above 40 are robbed of at least 6 1/2 years, on average, of expected life span, a study has found. And the toll in years lost rises with the degree of obesity, reaching nearly 14 years for the most obese -- those with a BMI above 55, researchers said.

Let's just ignore the science and argue what we wish was true.
