Please don't use this quote as a way to shut down discussions. If you're genuinely ignorant about how causality and correlation interact, go learn about it. (Judea Pearl's Causality is pretty good.)

It has claims like "SITTING MAKES US FAT", with no support besides a correlation (and not even a particularly strong or well-controlled correlation).
