As noted earlier, the main authors of the New Atheism movement include Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, Richard Dawkins, Victor J. Stenger and Christopher Hitchens.[3] The New Atheism movement claims to be pro-science, yet three out of five of these men have have had issues with being overweight as can be seen HERE and HERE and HERE PZ Myers is also a leader within the New Atheism movement and PZ Myers has had issues with being overweight.
Hippocrates, who was also against abortion, was an early advocate of the health benefits of exercise and nutrition.[1]
On the other hand, PZ Myers and a significant amount of other New Atheism leaders, seem to lack a full appreciation of the value of nutritional science, exercise science and the latest findings of medical science. (see: also Atheism and obesity). As of August 2013, Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris have not publicly commented on the significant problems the New Atheism leadership has experienced in terms of overweight members.
