Such a world would not have an incredible 30.4% of girls aged 2-19 being overweight or obese.

Like Lumifer, I am stunned at the notion of today's high-school girls being dangerously underfed.

A overweight girl who eats too much for a few months then diets and eats to little for a few months might still get negative effects on height and IQ.

You got evidence for that statement?

You got evidence for that statement?

Statements qualified with "might" inherently don't need evidence.

Yes, they do.

Prefacing nonsense with "might" does not make it any less nonsense.

Well, ones like "Mortimer Q. Snodgrass might be the culprit" do.
