Obesity myths

Dumber and Dumberer.

This is an instance of two men fighting moron a moron.

In one corner you have Paul Campos.

In the weight debate, perhaps the only slitherer lower than the sick care and diet professionals in their capacities as sick care and diet workers is this lawyer, Campos.

You decide.

He is a professor. So was Ward Churchill. You decide.

He is at the University of Colorado. So was Ward Churchill. You decide.

It appears to me as if the U. of Colorado is the Yale of the West. You decide.

Campos's deal is basically his claim that it has never been proven that fat people either consume too many Calories or burn too few Calories or that being overfat is bad.

If Campos represented the innumerate, his deal would basically be that since there has never been a "1" discovered in Nature, then it cannot be concluded that "1 + 1 = 2."

Like any "good" attorney, Campos turns the truth on its head to confuse the public into believing that an unreasonable doubt is reasonable.

Like any "good" con, Campos turns the truth on its head to confuse the public into believing that an unreasonable doubt is reasonable.

You decide what is happening.

Kelly Brownell is fat.

He hides this fact. Like any "good" con, he hides the truth. You decide what is happening.

He is another Yale weight loss expert. He is in "good" company. (see here, here and here)

This LA Times piece is so ridiculous that, again, but for the fact that people suffer and die from this stuff, it would be laughable.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to your experts.

If you are the least bit concerned or incensed, contact the LA Times and complain about this crap.

Like others in the media, the LA Times is your executioner.
