I'm sick of hearing about the so-called Obesity Epidemic

Here's today's money quote from one of my favorite blogs, which should be required reading for everyone buying all the hype about obesity in America:

"We know that the body of evidence, as even acknowledged by an expert review conducted by the National Institutes of Health, shows that weight gain with age or stable weights even if fat, for both men and women has the lowest death rates; while dieting, weight loss or fluctuating weights (yo-yoing), significantly increases the risk of actual death, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and cancers."
