I've forwarded this article to Bob Bazell, who is the medical correspondent for NBC News (and with whom we've worked countless times) with a little note. Watching his report of this study, I about pounded my head into the television screen; he fell for it hook, line and sinker, and he damn well ought to know better.

*sigh*

I love it. Unfortunately, Campos "has an agenda" and "isn't even a doctor or researcher" so the fatphobes dismiss his findings and continue to use absolute junk science to justify our continued subjugation, villification and positioning as subject of derision, scorn and hatred.
