This article is vague and inconclusive at best. Where are the details? Who conducted these studies? Votes: +2

Again statistics from a single study are presented to the world as if it is from GOD, when it should have been approached as if it were from a demi-god. While there may be a miniscule of truth to this research, in the vast real world, it loses its veracity when compared to real people who are both heavy and intellegent.

While being obese or over-weight, will affect the physical health of the individual, and eventually possibly the mind, it has not been known to cause stupidity, or a smaller brain. What does cause this is lack of education, and beyond that a simply lack of reaching out beyond your own borders. My suggestion is that the media needs to learn the difference between what is serious and important research, and what is simply sensationalism dressed up like research. The sooner it understands the difference the better. This was not worthy of the space it was given. Votes: +0

This is one of the nastiest things that could be written about over weight people. It is belittling. Typical of today's society. Whether it is people using the "R" word, making fun of people that are different, looking down on people who are overweight. It just is not nice. Nor do I believe it to be trues. Votes: +0
