Some People OK With Obesity

Here are some of them: idiots, people who get the rest of us to pay for their sick care, child abusers and undertakers.

"Nearly one obese person in 10 feels no need to lose weight or prevent further weight gain, researchers found.

Most obese people with these body size misperceptions thought their health was above average and their lifetime cardiovascular and diabetes risk low, said Dr. Tiffany Powell of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and colleagues."

Unfortunately, this message is brought to us by the people who are absolutely incapable of solving the problem but continue to tell us that they can.

"Their analysis of the Dallas Heart Study, reported at the American Heart Association meeting last week, suggested that physicians have a role in correcting these impressions."(see here)

The enablers of overfatness, e.g., physicians, are the among the last who should be trusted.
