...What's open to debate is whether all this amounts to a crisis. But instead of measured debate, what people are hearing is a chorus of obesity alarmism. There's another side to the obesity story. Argued with varying degrees of fervor by epidemiologists, skeptics and sundry others, it points out the arbitrary nature of the BMI classifications, throws doubt on attempts to link high BMI and premature death, asks who stands to gain from the fanning of obesity fears, and questions the value of hounding populations to lose weight.
