christo's picture

*Obesity is one of the few remaining socially accepted prejudice.

1. The obese eat more than the non-obese ---> A few studies show that they tend to only eat the same or less.

2. They are more emotionally "disturbed" ---> Studies show they have to deal with HUGE social pressure but seem to be well adjusted.

3. Moderate obesity increases sickness and death ---> The highest mortality rate for woman was for under weight. The lowest rate was for woman 10% and 20% overage average weight.

4. Fat people are always happy ---> No, some more or less than others.
