this study was pointless

they needed a study to tell you that fat people have less sex??? if you are overweight then you are less likely to be attractive to many folks, including others who are also overweight. its a fact of life

Meat Moron

That idiot talking about meat just pastes that text on every website they find about obesity.

Testosterone percentage

I question whether obesity produces a reduction in testosterone production or whether it is simply a reduction in the testosterone percentage and as such reduced effects of the testosterone.

It makes sense that if an average man produces 'x' amount of testosterone, it is going to produce greater effects on an individual with a lower body mass because the testosterone per kilogram ratio will be greater.

I would like to see whether this study had a control of a healthy weight individual and whether the ratio differed between the two.

Fat = Fat rather than calorie

I think meat will be the Fundamental Element and 'BASIC PLATFORM' for obesity, while the meat industry, one of the SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS, struggle to divert the attention of general public to the calorie issue. Perhaps flour can be compared to fat, and Yeast can be compared to calorie.

In my understanding, the fresh fruits can lead to healthy, peaceful mind and world, improving immune system, in contrast to the meat that will likely lead to aggressive war.

For the record, the healthy agencies and all but media connected the nation-wide salmonella outbreak to the Georgia plant, the salmonella of which was a different strain from the nation-wide one.
