→New Atheism leaders and problems with being overweight
[[Hippocrates]], who was also against [[abortion]], was an early advocate of the health benefits of [[exercise]] and [[nutrition]].<ref>http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/pe/exs190web/exs190history.htm</ref> On the other hand, [[PZ Myers]] and a significant amount of other New Atheism leaders, seem to lack a full appreciation of the worthiness of [[nutritional science]], [[exercise science]] and the latest findings of [[medical science]] (see also: [[Atheism and obesity]]). As of May 2011, Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris have not publicly commented on the significant problems the New Atheism leadership has experienced in terms of overweight members.

=== Dennet's problems with being overweight and medical science's finding on brain impairment ===
Given that [[Physical and mental health related problems associated with obesity|being overweight causes brain impairment]] and that [[New Atheism leadership's problems with being overweight|Daniel Dennet has had issues with being overweight]], it is ironic that Dennet's book ''Consciousness Explained'' is beloved by those who deny [[God]] in favor of a [[pseudoscience]].<ref>
