I wonder if there is a connection, and to what extent, between people who laugh in the face of the scientific majority on the subject of health and those who laugh in the face of the scientific majority on the subject of Evolution? I'm not one to fully support statistics, especially when those statistics claim to convey facts about a population of 6.5 billion, however, I read recently that more-than 70% of post-graduate level students and professionals consider Evolution to be fact and Intelligent Design, or non-Evolution arguments to be false. Is it possible that the "self designating" fat population can be linked to the less-than 30% post-graduate level population? It might be said that those who believe in an after-life apply the same level of cognitive dissonance to their condition in this life. It would make sense that Marilyn would ignore the scientific majority, because this life matters very little when eternity is considered. I wonder.
