    You have GOT to be kidding me...

    First, and as usual, there is no verifiable scientific data to corroborate Ms. Dickerson's assertions. Her perspectives, clearly falling into the realm of a belief system as opposed to serious human study, define her articles as opinions, and not objective reports.

    There is no verifiable scientific data correlating obesity and poor health? Is this like the lack of evidence linking smoking and lung cancer? It's truly amazing the levels of denial people can attain to avoid responsibility.
