A new study suggests that people are are overweight tend to be less intelligent than those who are not.

According to the study, people who are overweight have less grey and white matter in key parts of the brain, meaning their brain develops an “altered reward processing,” effectively meaning they lack the ability to control their eating.

The results were extracted from “very thorough” brain scans of 32 people from Baltimore....

Lots of restaurant meals with lobbyists most likely.

That picture would be complete if it included their mother.

I'll bet she's morbidly obese. Those boys are way too young to have gotten that fat without help from mommy dearest.

Or is it that stupid people are more likely to be fat?

“Study: Fat People More Likely to Be Stupid”

That was the Michelin Man!

When in high school, 40 years and 100 pounds ago I had an IQ in excess of 140. Thanks to fois gras and steak I now qualify for the short bus?

[fwdude]

Well, nearly all lesbians?

So this is what passes for science in the Social Sciences. More like Social Pseudoscience.

MY EYES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[John Robinson]

Or is it, “stupid people more likely to make poor decisions” including health?

[Sir Napsalot]

Short and fat, you mean the World’s Smartest Woman Hillary?

[katana]

Good example. But on the other hand Benjamin Franklin, maybe the purest geniuses of that generation of genius, wasn't exactly svelte. Liberals tend (Fat Ass you posted excepted) to be thin and unhappy people whose mission in life is to make everyone with whom they come into contact as miserable as themselves. So naturally fat people must remain fair game. Gaia forbid anyone publish the data about a certain human subset of sub-Saharan origin.

Agreed. This "study" is junk. However, it allows Freepers to take cheap shots at fat leftist icons!

[Roger Kaputnik]

So now it’s no longer just my opinion, but a fact that my ex-wife is both fat and stupid. Thanks. I feel vindicated.

[Talisker]

Uh... Who is that...?
