argh.

Man, I have got to stop reading Orson Scott Card's blog. John mentioned he wrote a column on homosexuality, so I decided to take a look to see how the other side justified their disapproval. On my way, I ran into his latest column on obesity.

Now I'm all frustrated and irritated. This guy is obviously trying to take a shot at the scientific establishment and he sounds good, but he's just wrong. God, it's so blatantly wrong and subtly framed in anti-European, anti-science wording, but at the same time he is trying to use the lingo. Like that creationism trash that attempts to use science to back up the biblical version of evolution.

It shocks me that he is even making this argument. Look at the rise in childhood type II diabetes! And what about IV placement? How about surgery? Extra layers of fat make it difficult to gas and complicate surgery. For example, what if increases are regional and a national increase is not evident? He's right in that we don't know enough. I love how he only pointed out research money coming from weight-loss companies and completely skipped over the money coming from the fast-food industry.

...and I don't think I'm going to make it through the homosexual column. I'm already fuming mad and I'm only half way though. How do people read this garbage, much less believe it?
