what was this famous sociology experiment?

We Answered:

You indeed have the correct name. One article was published in Harper's Magazine in 1977 by author Jack McCLintock: http://harpers.org/archive/1977/03/00226… I think you have to pay for access for this on-line, but might be able to get it free through a library.

I hope that helps.

Why is obesity NOT bad for your health?

We Answered:

It is called the obesity paradox.

Being overweight can actually help you in the long run. Weight itself is not a health problem, except in the most extreme cases (i.e., being underweight or so fat you’re immobilized). In fact, fat people live longer than thin people and are more likely to survive cardiac events, and some studies have shown that fat can protect against “infections, cancer, lung disease, heart disease, osteoporosis, anemia, high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis and type 2 diabetes.”

Accepting yourself as you are, no matter your weight, can actually improve your health in the long run. Body size is mainly genetic.No one knows how to make a naturally thin person fat any more than they know how to make a naturally fat person thin

should we be more worried about being underweight than overweight? - what do you think?

We Answered:

I think there are differnet ways to evaluate this question.

Many younger people have problems with anorexia or bulemia which can have severe health consequences in a short time period, so from that perspective, yes, this may be more immediately worrysome.

On the other hand, in the U.S. and many other western nations, obesity is rising at alarming rates, and while the consequences may not come as quickly, they can be severe: Diabetes, cardiobascular disease, and some cancers are all examples of things that are killing people in great numbers due to being over weight. In terms of numbers, there are many more people suffering from these than from underweight problems, so nationally, it is a bigger issue.
