I found the study, as well as its actual results.

While the title is "Why is being a lesbian bad for your health?", it could also have read "Why is being a straight male bad for your health?" It all depends on which group (straight males or lesbian women) you want to demean more.

Why should the government care, to the tune of $1.5 million dollars WHY lesbians are fat ?
Let Weight Watchers fund that type of research.

Someone needs to tell the NIH that the CDC finished their study on obesity and the war is over.
Obesity peaked in 2003 and has been on a decline since.

We came to the war 10 years too late..it ended on it's own without government intervention

I knew someone would come up with the real answer.
I think gay guys want to look good to covert straight men.
What other reason could there be?

That's pretty much my point.
The OP quoted a christian site known for anti- stances.

Some people never read the entire report (I didn't, from the source, I didn't have to), and just demean gays, women, etc.
Never the straight white men, though.

Being human is bad for your health.

"Hardening of the arteries, or atherosclerosis, is often described as a lifestyle disease resulting from smoking, poor diet, and a lack of exercise.

Now, a team of U.S. scientists has found new evidence that the disease has been around since long before our modern lifestyle.

The researchers examined CT scans of 137 mummies for signs of the artery disease......"

Well, what percentage of women in general are overweight? Over 60%.
Now factor in that many of these women don't feel like they have to be skinny for men...

*shrug*

The whole country is fat.

Seriously?
Seriously?

Most straight men aren't good-looking enough for gay guys.
That's what's so funny about straight men being so scared of being hit on.
I'm like, "Listen, uggo...no one wants to do you."
