A new study of media coverage of studies of obesity has concluded that headlessness may be a contributor to excessive weight gain.
“We’ve read almost every study on obesity as reported in the media, and there is compelling evidence that many overweight people — and particularly morbidly obese people — are headless,” said Dr. O.R. Chard of the Center for the Study of Media-Reported Studies. “Whether this link is causal or merely correlational is as yet undetermined, but certainly merits further study.”
Dr. Chard cited evidence from numerous sources, including an Australian study of schoolchildren:
New U.K. government data showing a sharp rise in obesity in that country:
A report on 300 studies to be presented at the Obesity Society conference in New Orleans:
A new study on the relationship between obesity and the ability to float:

Brilliant!
Heeeee! Love it!
ha! I concur.
Wunderbar! Excelente! Bellissimo!
I’m rolling around laughing at this…
clever, yes. But not as far from the truth as we would hope. It turns out obesity and Alzheimer’s are both caused by chronic low grade inflammation, which also happens to cause heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. So for now they may appear visually headless, they will eventually wind up functionally headless as well.
When I figured out what the title meant, I laughed out loud. Too funny!
the best solution for obesity is none other than Exercise and Proper diet. i would try to avoid slimming pills or fat burning food supplements
wrong. the best “solution” is to stop seeing fat people as a problem and start seeing them as PEOPLE.
Obesity and diabetes is a growing problems nowadays. It is caused by todays lifestyle which does not involve lots amount of exercise. Most people are just happy sitting in their office chair and they do not even want to sweat.
I’ve been waiting for someone to address my REAL health problem…I have no head!
Awesome!
And isn’t it nice how a good number of people came to give us all such great and new and never-before-heard-of advice to lose weight, like “you don’t want to sweat”, and “excersize and proper diet”? How is that going to solve all the headlessness? That’s what I’d like to know.
Would these obese people rather be photographed with their heads? If not, there’s no cause for complaint here.
@nina- yes!!
Thinking that since I’m only about 5 lbs into my doc’s obesity table, I could CURE my obesity by going headless. And, just as a note to the pathetically uninformed, I work out, vigorously, at least 4x/week and am very fit, have no trouble climbing big hills & moving my body in an assortment of ways. But I’m still OBESE!! Deal with it, I have.
