Obesity contributes to global warming: study

GENEVA (Reuters) - Obesity contributes to global warming, too.

Obese and overweight people require more fuel to transport them and the food they eat, and the problem will worsen as the population literally swells in size, a team at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine says.

This adds to food shortages and higher energy prices, the school's researchers Phil Edwards and Ian Roberts wrote in the journal Lancet on Friday.

"We are all becoming heavier and it is a global responsibility," Edwards said in a telephone interview. "Obesity is a key part of the big picture."

Bad titling on your part. The article does not suggest that fat people "cause" global warming.

Well, we could cut off welfare and foodstamps in the US. ........oh, no..... some might actually go to work then ......burning more calories ....... creating more heat and breaking a sweat ......which would add to atmospheric water vapor causing monsons and raising the ocean level even more than polar icecap melting ......which would mean ........ we're doomed ....... we're doomed we're doomed ............OH PLEASE SAVE US AL GORE,.......tell us what to do.

Meanwhile, while I'm waiting for scripture from the Great AL, I'll be in the kitchen eating strawberry shortcake with ice cream on top.

When do we get to call this crap the pseudoscience that it is? Are they going to change the term to carbon ass-print?

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Bad titling on your part. The article does not suggest that fat people "cause" global warming.

Actually it's bad titling on Reuters' part, but thanks for defending us portly people (and if you didn't intend to do that, just take the H5 and STFU  :-) )

This is just another finger pointing to the new liberal target.
They've squeezed all the money out of tobacco, now they are coming after overweight people. To a lib this is just another sin tax, but they will demonize their targets to get it.

Prepare for tax on food next. Sure it will start with candy and fast food. Most people will be silent, but soon the libs will go after restaurants, and foods in general.

If the Libs win the presidency and the house, they are gonna bleed you people dry!
