Big People, Fight For Your Rights!

Today outside the Mayor of London’s office there’s a demonstration against prejudice against obese people. I thought this might be more self-pitying, politically correct rubbish until I noted one of the protestors’ objectives: ‘protesters want the UK to follow San Francisco, where a law bans “fat-ism”…and stops doctors pressing patients to slim down’. Seeing as there’s far more of a causal effect between obesity and poor health than there is with alcohol, I’d fully support these radical ‘persons of size’ because that would set a precedent that would stop the constant lecturing of the likes of the BMA about the dangers of alcohol. There was yet another piece of dubious statistical interpretation released to the press today and all over Google News.

  1. On the scales at the hospital today I was either 139 or 144 kilos. This shocked even me so I may now need to find some accurate scales. Morbidly Obese even if I was 6ft 10″.

    Like smoking there is no in between science on this. Avoid processed foods, exercise and you’ll be healthier no matter what you eat and drink. The rest is pseudo science and links (raw statistical matching).
