This article points out that trans-fats not only clutter up your arteries but also make you fatter over the long run. That is unfortunate.
What is more unfortunate however is the picture in this article. How sad is it to be "fat person clip art"?

Did you notice how far back the photographer had to stand to get them both in the picture?
Ok, I'm bad.
As for the article, file it under "No duh." :)
Your observation is similar to what passes through my mind whenever I am watching a movie in which the story calls for an extremely fat or ungly person. Worst of all was watching "The Ringer" just the other night and finding myself on the fence in terms of whether certain actors were actually mentally retarded or just extraordinarily good at faking it. I always tell myself that fat or ugly people cast specifically to play the roles of fat or ugly characters are paid well and hence enjoy the last laugh, but come on -- deep down it would suck to know you only achieved a certain station in life thanks to being the roundest or homeliest one out of hundreds in the room.
