The linked article provides an evocative perspective on obesity. Certainly, lack of exercise and eating habits play huge roles in how we're super-sizing ourselves, but I found this article interesting because it describes some preliminary studies about how endocrine disrupters affect fat cells.
I'd certainly like to get back down to my "fighting weight" (140 lbs.) through better eating habits and more exercise than I'm currently doing, but I found this article fascinating in that plastic goods may play a role, especially for young children
As the one character in The Graduate said, "Plastics, plastics, plastics."
What do you all think?
