Another thing to consider is all the strange things in processed foods that some classify as neurotoxins. A healthy diet is not only good for the body, it’s good for the head too.

Lol I wonder if that chick chowing down on the turkey leg would be livid if she ever sees that her picture was used in an article about obesity!

In reply to Dave. Yes, it would be interesting to know if these people had problems in those areas right after birth.

Seems a logical step to assume that the brain damage was what caused to eating problem in the first place, no?

In reply to Myschly. Well, the food industry does have a strong lobby.

The first sentence implies that overweight people have less structural damage in their brains. Perhaps it could be reworded to something like “[…] the brains of overweight people have less volume as well as structural damage […]”

Just a suggestion.

Seems the similarity in danger from obesity and hard drugs keeps on growing. Wonder how long it’ll take before this is recognized on a political level.

The same govts that have no problem dictating what drugs can & can’t be used, seem reluctant to even raise taxes on food we know to be addictive.

Alas, the policies that work aren’t the ones that will be put in place, just as with the war on drugs, money will be spent on worthless crap, & nothing gets fixed.
