Shocking article on the brains of obese people

This is crazy to me!

I would have to agree with you.  This sounds a little far fetched to me.

  

    This is all I need.  First it was Fat and Jolly, then Fat and Lazy, now Fat and Stupid??????   When will it stop.  They can take their negative studies and cram them.  This is obnoxious.  I suppose it will be all over the news.   PLEASE!!!   (hope I'm not being too over-reactive!)

That's kind of how I felt - this creates just one more reason to be prejudiced against large people.

Well, after reading that article I have to admit that I do feel like I have less brain tissue. Not because I was once obese. But because I took the time to read such stupid nonsense. Decreased sexual activity? Hello? Maybe its because you studied people in their 70s?????

I just can't believe someone actually took the time to study this. Whatever. Not worth getting upset about. Because if we get upset about it, then they will find in a study that those who were or are obese have an increased chance of high blood pressure? Why? Because there are more nonsense, silly, stupid, demeaning articles written up.

Oh look! The sun is shining.

I have studied about brains a little, and I can tell you that bigger does not necessarily mean better.  A person with a large brain can be average, and a person with a small brain can have a very high IQ.  Intelligence is much more a function of how efficient the connections are (sort of like how well the brain is wired) than size.
