There's a lot of media buzz right now about a new report in JAMA on the empirical trends on prevalence of obesity in the United States. You can read the whole paper here (too many tables, not enough graphs). Interestingly, like George W. Bush it seems that Harry Reid is prejudiced against the overweight. The data in the paper above strongly implies that anti-fat bigotry is going to have disparate impact.
