"Staying slim is good for the planet, according to two UK researchers who concluded that because food production has a big impact on global warming, a lean population such as that of Vietnam will eat nearly 20 per cent less food and produce fewer greenhouse gases than populations where 40 per cent of people are obese (close to that of the United States today)."What the researchers failed to take into account is the phenomenon known as "Carbon Shadow."
Fat people cast a much larger shadow than intended-size human beings.
Think the difference between an ant's shadow and the shadow of an elephant.
Clearly, the shadow of an elephant contributes to global COOLING by preventing the sun's rays from reaching the surface of the earth and heating it.
Fat people provide this same service as would any other elephant.
The researchers are too hard on our fat brothers and sisters.
Cut them some slack.
