"50 percent more likely to turn into obese middle-agers" - must be the potlucks catching up.
Actually there are severe problems with that study on religiosity and obesity. They asked one question at the beginning of the study about whether or not people were religious.
MANY YEARS LATER they tracked obesity outcomes . . . but never followed up with questions about religiosity. It's just lousy social science, but hey, it's media catnip! Therefore, this poorly done study with its unscientifically supported conclusions is published all over.
