The Fleshiness Myth: Why United States's Obsession with Weight

Is Hazardous to Your Health. Gotham Books, New York, 2004. At a

June 2, 2005, press conference, Dr. Gerberding, the

director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,

apologized for the mixed messages the populace has been getting

approximately the dangers of fleshiness. Acknowledging that

flawed data in several CDC studies had exaggerated the risks of

, Gerberding was responding in part to critics such as Saint

Campos. Campos rightly sounds the alarm over bad skill,

and his volume The Myth (reissued in May 2005 as The Diet Myth)

was prominently featured in a recent Scientific American cover

clause.

The Bible and controversy provide an object lesson in

skepticism. Campos is not a checkup professional but a lawyer;

he makes a point of mentioning this, implying that his status

as an outsider to the issuance aids his judgment. It is

important to remember, however, that lawyers do not seek the

truth; instead, they advocate for one side. In this case,

Campos is advocating on behalf of those who believe that the

efforts to portray fatness as unhealthy and unacceptable ar

driven by debris scientific discipline, hatred of blubber

people, and a profit-hungry dieting industry. He also believes

that the time-honored free weight loss recipe of watching what

you eat and exercising doesn't work. Campos charges that

" almost everything the government and the media [] saying close

to exercising weight and weighting control [is] either grossly

distorted or flatly untrue. " The whole field is rife with " dust

, " Campos writes, and former Operating surgeon Full general

Jacques Louis Satcher was " brainsick " in his efforts to

curb US's .

It is certainly true, as Dr. Gerberding admitted (and

explains in this publication), that assorted estimates

of 's death toll were consistently overdone. While Campos and

other critics can gloat in vindication, the fact is that is

only the latest in a long list of world threats that have been

by a sensationalist news media (and, to a lesser degree, by the

medical checkup community). The dire warnings, publicity, and

hype surrounding West Nile virus, ebola, flu, anthrax, Mad Cow

disease, and even AIDS, to name just a few, all far outstripped

any reasonable threat. And confusing and contradictory medical

examination information is hardly novel, as Baarschers

describes in his in this exit.
