Curiously, problems aren't solved with weak methods of inquiry. They're also not solved by pointing at them, jumping up and down, saying, "THIS IS A PROBLEM! SOMEBODY FIX IT!" There's this thing our parents said to us, "Whenever you point a finger, there's three pointing back at you." I guess they had a point, after all. Yes, there are FAT people. Yes, there are MORE fat people than there used to be. There are also more alcoholics, drug addicts, poorly educated children and incidents of road rage. These problems have more in common than not. And one thing they have in common is that people write articles about them using words like, "Scared yet?" Useless tripe. (eta: no pun intended)
