Was there a correlation between intelligence and obesity?
Education has nothing to do with intelligence... as we all should know.
Obesity seems to be somewhat higher among those who make less money, which would probably have something to do with lower education levels. However, I've heard nothing of intelligence levels.
And I have personally known some highly intelligent fat people, and some really fscking stupid skinny people. In fact, I have never in my life (I'm 39) noticed a correlation between intelligence and body type.

Oh look:
Results: Education and intelligence, analyzed separately, were inversely related to BMI changes in both groups and to the development of obesity in the nonobese group. When adjusted for education, the association between intelligence score and BMI changes and development of obesity vanished, whereas the inverse relationship for education persisted only for BMI changes. Intelligence score was not associated with the persistence of obesity in the obese group, whereas inverse relationships were found for education.
Yep, I was right I guess.

Stop using corn syrup and partially hydrogenated oils in foods and this trend would slow down or even reverse.
"Nobel laureate Paul Sabatier worked in the 1890s to develop the chemistry of hydrogenation which enabled the margarine, oil hydrogenation, and synthetic methanol industries.[8] While Sabatier only considered hydrogenation of vapours, the German chemist Wilhelm Normann showed in 1901 that liquid oils could be hydrogenated, and patented the process in 1902[9]. In 1909 Procter & Gamble in Cincinnati acquired the US rights to the Normann patent and in 1911 they began marketing Crisco, the first hydrogenated shortening, which contained a large amount of partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil. Further success came from the marketing technique of giving away free cookbooks with every recipe calling for Crisco. Hydrogenation strongly stimulated whaling, as it made it possible to stabilize whale oil for human consumption.
In the 1950s, advocates said that the trans fats of margarine were healthier than the saturated fats of butter, but this has been proven incorrect. One example of the effects of trans fats vs saturated fats came from the "Walter Willett Nurses Study" (Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School). The 14-year study of 80,082 women who were 34 to 59 years of age concluded that a 2% increase in trans fats, compared to the same increase in carbohydrates, increased a woman's risk of heart disease by 19.3%, while the same study found that a 5% increase in saturated fats increased heart disease risk by 17% compared with the same increase in carbohydrates. [10]
The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) campaigned against fast foods using saturated fats starting in 1984. When fast food companies replaced the saturated fat with trans fat, CSPI's campaign against them ended. CSPI defended trans fats in their 1987 Nutrition Action newsletter. However, by 1992, CSPI began to speak against trans fats and is currently strongly against their use.[11]"

I don't know if this has been posted already. I didn't bother reading most of the posts but...
Its ridiculous that people think that if they eat less carbs that they will lose weight. Eating less carbs will help you lose weight IF YOU EXERCISE! An average health person has to exercise 30 minutes to burn through the carbs and protein before they even start to burn fat! People have to start exercising!

While it may sound cruel, I only think mother nature/darwin are at work here.
fat = not good for man. fat people die early. this is good for man.

hmm are you talking about lifting weights or running? because for running its for like after 10+miles then it starts to burn the fat
Because laziness can affect anyone, race, religion, color, intelligence or age does not mattter.
It's easy to eat pre-fab food and sit on your ass an watch tv or surf the net.
It's not easy to fix healthy meals, exercise and take an active role in your own well being.

50% eating too much, 50% lack of exercise
don't eat your fill if you're obese, just eat maybe 2/3 of what you normally eat, and make sure it's healthy food.
