I'm sure there is someone who could refute my very simple calculations
above. But for goodness sake, this is a ridiculously small sample... yet
think of how many people are going to think badly of themselves, all
because a survey of 0.0139% of Virginians somehow made news.

Well, I live in Virginia, and I can't see how this would make me think
differently of myself. I don't know that obesity in Virginia is
markedly higher than in other states; it's pretty high throughout the
country. I believe it tends to be a bit more common in the south, and
we're sort of the north end of the south here.
