...usual stuff of newspapers, which people read on Monday and by Sunday have moved on from, your article has had unusual staying power. In fact, it has remained with me, it has haunted me, until today—for six years of my total of 20, about a third of my lifetime! But today, today, I am going to exorcise your ghostly grip.You see, in the article that you wrote so many years ago, you put forth a claim that has bothered me, a self-identifying reader (and sometimes, in my more self-indulgent and pompous moments, a self-proclaimed...

...according to the study, which was carried out last year among 54,000 people for Brazil's Health Ministry. Meanwhile, almost half (47.3%) of adult males and 39.5% of females are considered overweight. Those figures are still low compared with industrialized nations like the U.S., where more than a third of all adults are considered obese (a condition defined by the ratio of weight to height). But Malta says the trend is clear and that Brazil is slowly on the same path. In 1975, similar studies showed that only 2.8% of men and 7.8% of women were obese; just seven...
