#5 Americans are obese for two reasons (a) Because we overeat and underexercise (b) Because the government statistics on obesity are so insane they include many pro atheletes (basketball and football at least) as obese.

#8 There is a lot of good advice to help us avoid becoming fat, such as eat less and exercise. But if some researchers are right, you may soon be hearing a surprising new piece of advice: wash your hands.

Curse you, Col. Sanders, for being so finger-lickin' good!

#13 Her study found that a human-infecting virus called AD-37 causes obesity in chickens. Previous studies had linked two three related viruses with obesity in animals or humans, the researchers added.

Ah. This would be the rumor that arrived at the Weight Watchers meeting as "eating chicken can make you get fat".

(No, I'm not joking.)
