Line 30: − − === Atheist blogger PZ Myers and study on internet usage === − − See also: [[Atheist blogger PZ Myers, excess weight and study on internet usage]] and [[Theories of New Atheism leadership's problems with being overweight]] − − Atheists are very active on the internet and PZ Myers is an active atheist blogger. In 2009, an Australian university study was done concerning the association between leisure time internet and computer use with being overweight and/or [[obesity|obese]] and also sedentary.<ref>http://www.jmir.org/2009/3/e28/</ref> The study concluded: "These findings suggest that, apart from nutritional and physical activity interventions, it may also be necessary to decrease time spent in sedentary behaviors, such as leisure-time Internet and computer use, in order to reduce the prevalence of overweight and obesity."<ref>http://www.jmir.org/2009/3/e28/</ref> − − Given that PZ Myers' [[PZ Myers' blog posts and quality problems|blog posts often lack substance]], increased exercise and less partaking in the sedentary activity of blogging certainly could be helpful (see: [[PZ Myers' blog posts and quality problems]]).

In 2011, [[Christian apologetics|Christian apologist]] [[Vox Day]] had an individual complain about the notion that the atheist community has a problem with obesity (Please see: [[Atheism and obesity]]). As a result, on May 19, 2011, Vox Day released a blog post entitled ''Mailvox: now, who said atheists are fat?'' where 80% of the people taking a picture with PZ Myers were overweight and PZ Myers was overweight in the picture as well as can be seen [http://voxday.blogspot.com/2011/05/mailvox-now-who-said-atheists-are-fat.html HERE]. The picture was originally posted on PZ Myer's blog [[Pharyngula (blog)|Pharyngula]] by Myers on May 16, 2011 and an online argument quickly ensued concerning the appearance of the photograph's participants.<ref>http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2011/05/at_least_you_can_see_a_hint_of.php</ref>
