And now. . . for an opposing viewpoint. . .

Actually this is one of an EXCELLENT series that tries to examine the evidence behind the 'obesity is killing us' speeches.

Helps to keep an open mind about this stuff. I think there's a bit too much of holier than thou 'tsk-tsking' going on about obesity -- especially with pronouncements like "We're all fat slobs and killing ourselves and it has all got to stop NOW because it's all too disgusting.'

Anyway, just to show you there IS another viewpoint here.
