hmmm...says here that christians (specifically baptists) are significantly more likely to be overweight than any other religious group. the least likely? buddhists. strange, they’re the ones with the tubby deity.

um, where to start w/ that one... well, ill keep it short and just say that i think that statement is shocking. - buddhists don't have a "diety", they have an idea of transcendence. buddha is recognized for teachings and for achieving enlightenment. - part of buddhism is avoiding harmful states, including greed. - achieving enlightenment is through overcoming things that are pleasurable - like taste.

additionally, i'm sure it's a regional/cultural thing. if you look at group composition, there are many baptists in the south, noted for fried fatty food, and many buddhists of asian descent, known for eating mostly grain and veggies and few animal products.
