"Where a teenage girl sees herself on her school's social ladder may sway her future weight, a study of more than 4,000 girls finds. Those who believed they were unpopular gained more weight over a two-year period than girls who viewed themselves as more popular."More poor babies.
Say goodbye to prom queens. Those who were not voted tops will end up fat because they were proven unpopular.
And the schools will be sued, of course. for the trauma they caused.
"'How girls feel about themselves should be part of all obesity prevention strategies,' said the study's lead author, Adina Lemeshow, who began the study as a Harvard School of Public Health graduate student. She now works at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene."Let's hope she loses this job, too.
"'The reason this paper is so important is it has broader implications beyond weight gain,' said McNeely, who was not involved in the research but wrote an accompanying editorial. 'Subjective social status is not just an uncomfortable experience you grow out of, but can have important health consequences.'"Wrong.
The only reason this paper could ever be important is if you need something for paper-training a puppy.
BTW, this "study was supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health." The same people who brought you this form of child abuse.
