clever bastards at Harvard have got fuck all better to do with their time.

The chapters:

  The calorie equation
  Genetic influences
  How much of your weight depends on your genes?
  What are thrifty genes?
  Environmental causes of obesity
  The food factor as one of the causes of obesity
  The exercise equation
  The trouble with TV: Sedentary snacking
  Stress and related issues
I am a bit disappointed that there is no mention of food being squirted out of machines in factories having a negative impact on obesity.

True. But even to your processed foods comment, how is that news to anyone? To me it’s like… we have now all read these facts hundreds of times over by now. Close the book on Internet health & science write-ups, and let’s all meet back here in 50 years. It reminds me of a schoolgirl mindlessly repeating capitols of cities to herself after school one day or something.
