STOP THE INSANITY, GET OUT OF THE ZONE. AND DON'T, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
TELL YOURSELF IT'S OK TO BE OBESE.
Fat people, get real!

TELL YOURSELF IT'S OK TO BE OBESE.
BY LORI LEIBOVICH | it's one of the great American paradoxes. The more we
snatch up diet books, ab busters and fen-phen, the fatter we get.
Approximately one-third of adult Americans are overweight. Fatness -- more
politely known as obesity -- results in hundreds of thousands of deaths
each year from heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and cancer.
Last year, a spate of "fat acceptance" books made us feel a little better
about our pear-shaped physiques. All of a sudden, anti-diet authors fed us
the tasty news: You can be fit and fat.
Enter Michael Fumento.
Gee, would this be the same Michael Fumento who claims that
hetrosexuals don't get AIDS?
A medical journalist and self-proclaimed "debunker
of faux fears" (his last book was "The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS"), Fumento
is on a crusade.
Guess so!
Consider the source.
