Well, the link appears to be broken. But it will get you to the
Scientific American website. The article is there.
Sorry, all.

I urge folks to take a look at Wayt Gibbs' "Obesity: An Overblown
Epidemic?" published in the June 2005 Scientific American. In the midst
of BUNCHES and BUNCHES of evidence about the health risks of obesity,
and the ongoing discussion/debate about this fat and that fat and this
diet and that diet and set-point theory and evolutionary programming and
who-can-resist-twinkies, and blahblahblah, this article gives one new
food for thought on this subject. And as I've got a chip on my shoulders
about the extra junk in my trunk, this article sorta kinda made me feel
better for about two minutes.
And I haven't heard anyone in this "discussion" mention the importance
of attending to your spirit, chakra, light, karma, little candle, brain
balance, mental equilibrium, emotional wellbeing,
belly-breathing-chambers-of-serenity, soul, or whatever. There's some
mighty interesting stats on how we'd better get off our collective
self-focused, numbed-out, puffed-up, stressed-out, tight-assed,
bored-out, materialized-up, jittery, empty-vesseled, fully-americanized,
conscious, sentient selves and contemplate the.......well, I'm not sure
what, but we'd better do that, too, while we're getting on the old
stick.
