So I'm sure everyone here is sick to the back teeth of the "obesity epidemic" BS... At worst the upshot of the constant barrage of hatred, blame and
misiniformation aimed at big folks is DEATH.

Helen Anderson, 26, a talented musician and mother, was found dead in
bed by her mother at her home on April 6. Her body was so starved of

died of ketoacidosis.

sufferers, making it the mental illness with the highest fatality rate.

"Professor John Garrow, one of the UK's leading experts on obesity,
criticised the 500-calorie-a-day diet as "dangerous".
