Reply #28: Nope, no BS

[Nihil]

From the BBC article (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3752597.stm):

> Dr Sheila McKenzie, a consultant paediatrician at the Royal London,
> told the Health Select Committee: "In the past two years one child
> at the age of three has died of heart failure secondary to extreme
> obesity."

Note the phrase "heart failure secondary to extreme obesity".
The consultant did not say "heart failure, complicated by slight obesity"
or any other words that may have been taken out of context and hyped
by the tabloids.

Hence your claim that

> saying that she died from being fat is inaccurate and misleading.

is itself "inaccurate and misleading" (a.k.a. "BS" :-) ).

Dodging the issue like this is akin to saying "he didn't die from
being shot, he died from loss of blood".
