Supersized Market Economy, Supersized Belly: Wealthier Nations Have More Fast Food And More Obesity

Garbage.

New research from the University of Michigan suggests obesity can be seen as one of the unintended side effects of free market policies.

A study of 26 wealthy nations shows that countries with a higher density of fast food restaurants per capita had much higher obesity rates compared to countries with a lower density of fast food restaurants per capita.

Note that the researchers blame it on "fast food" restaurants instead of wealth.

That is a choice.

A political choice and not a scientific choice.

This is a bad, biased, all-too-common "research" technique used to persuade, not to prove.

It (fatosity) has nothing to do with wealth or "fast food."

It is all about the Calories.
