Paul Campos, in an interview with Tech Central Station, gives a few points to ponder on the obesity obsession.
1. Weight gain tracks well with the decline in smoking.
2. There were no stats on Type 2 Diabetes among children until recently, so we can’t compare how much worse the problem is.
3. The median weight gain is just eight pounds.
Of course, he gets the definitions of overweight for children wrong, but it gives more reason to pause.
