Reply #5: Interesting site.

I agree with their focus on prejudice in the media etc toward fat people. They don't seem
to shy away from the term 'fat' either instead of creating some politicaly correct jargon.
On the other hand there is an article about how flawed the Body Mass Index is. To that
I say fine, make a better reference for health professionals to use. I am not aware of any
other than the BMI.
One author reviews an article in which as the author says 'they go down that tired "eat less
exercise more path" again.'

So seems like the site is fighting prejudice (a good thing) and BS ing themselves all at the same time.

I don't have a problem with 'fat people' I just have a problem with creative science
to support a point of view. Controlling diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease
e.g. is a lot easier when that 'tired old' routine of diet and exercise is part of the program.
