Plus it's not really that bad of a health risk to eat in those kind of places once in a while. When it comes stupid is when you eat a hungry man for breakfast, munch something little during the day, go and get a 3 beef burger for lunch, chunck 1 liter of coke with it, then survive to dinner without munching anything in between, eat a decent meal, then have a beer or two while watching TV and eat some potato chips... THAT'S when you blow over slow and steady, but very surely. And then it somehow surprises them people 'wow I don't evene at that much!"'. Right, but the nutrition values were so freaking horrible... yeah.. taking 4000 calories every day. Nicely done there.

And then people go 'uhh I won't eat any fat for a month and watch the carbs and the protein'. YEAH EXACTLY, but you need them all in the right amounts, every day. You need fat, you need protein and you need carbs. Even if you want to lose weight. YOu just need the right amount of them every day.

PH, well take it out.

Isn´t the risk of death 100% for every human being, regardless of gender, weight or religion?

Yeah, the thing is that this is talking about "risk of death."

Our medical treatment has gotten so good it can treat alot of weight related disorders, things like Type 2 Diabetes, which is almost exlusively brought on by being overweight.

Exactly. Would you want to spend the rest of your life taking medication to control your diabetes, cholestoral, heart disease, whatever? There's a quality of life issue I think. Plus the health care costs are a burden to the rest of society.

By chance the same researchers as the ones used by the tobaco industry?
