Next thing they will find out that not eating makes us thin.

Perhaps not eating might also be the cause of hunger? We need a proper study though, rather than be led by hearsay and conjecture.

The Daily Telegraph describes it as a controversial report . Apparently a debate has been raging "in the scientific communities" about whether obese children result from overeating or not exercising. Must it be one or the other - like they are not both connected and both causative factors? If you sit at a computer all day drinking coffee and smoking you will not get fat, but if you're drinking cola and eating burgers, chips and donuts then you just might. I wonder whether doing idiotic surveys contributes to some weird mental condition.

But now it has been decided - it is overeating and not under exercise to blame. 

Excuse me, I'm going to go beat my head against the nearest wall.
