The Cost of Being Overweight
Take a look around and it is easy to see that we are an overweight nation. I always knew there was a cost to being an overweight society, but not how much. “What if no one were fat?” is an article that attempts to estimate the cost.
Personally, I think the benefit would be far greater than the article indicates. Granted, genetics, plays a part in why people are overweight, as well our environment and psychology. But I believe these are more symptoms of a society that is sick than causes for the sickness.
