About 2-3 years ago there was a really interesting article in Discover magazine about the scientific research about obesity. The next month they published several letters. One of them was absolutely frothing at the mouth. Those scientists are just giving all those disgusting fat people excuses to be fat and their all gonna die because they won't get off of their lazy fat butts and do something about it and now all these stupid scientists are telling them it's not their fault.

There is definitely a whole class of nutcakes out there who go absolutely bonkers at the merest SUGGESTION that their normal healthy weight is not absolute proof of their great moral superiority...
