The Other Side of the Obesity Debate

It seems to me that the condemnation of "obesity" in the media now rivals the condemnation of "racism". Since the average American is already wide and getting wider, this would seem to be about as cockeyed as condemning people for preferring other people who are similar to themselves.

An essential prop for what seems largely to be a moral crusade is scientific research which purports to show that fat is bad for you. And research claiming that is about all you ever hear of via the media. Skeptical voices are suppressed. It is largely for that reason that I recently started my FOOD & HEALTH SKEPTIC blog.

If you go there now you will find a pretty good demolition of the latest "scientific" scare story.
