Talk:Essay: Indian Christian culture is better than low-class atheist "culture" (view source)
Revision as of 16:18, July 19, 2011
, 16:18, July 19, 2011→Obesity in India
::::This is so very wrong on every level. Your Gallop "study" doesn't say a thing about obesity or atheism, let alone child obesity, not that a poll of Americans about healthy behaviors has anything to do with obesity in India. And you've been shown real studies, rather than polls of self-reported behavior, that show the very religious are more likely to be obese than the less religious. You've also been shown maps showing the shocking overlap of the incidence of obesity with prevalence of fundamentalist and evangelical religious - the American Bible Belt is the fattest region in the country. You ignore and misrepresent this evidence. [[User:NKeaton|Nate]] 10:35, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

:::::::Nate, the Roman Catholic country of Mexico has the second highest obesity rate in the world.[http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_obe-health-obesity] I cited other data for the [[atheism and obesity]] article. Next, the Bible belt has a number of important demographic/cultural variables not just religion. Fourth, there are more Protestant Christians in the thin Eastern World than in the West.
