Morning Scepticism: Tofu

Take the arguments against climate change and apply them to obesity. Imagine if someone refused to acknowledge they were even obese to begin with, but conceded if they were it was probably due to natural causes. And in any case it certainly wasn't a result of lifestyle and eating habits. But the idea of obesity is just a left-wing conspiracy perpetrated by vegan tree-huggers who want to marry cows and make everyone eat tofu. So why should they cut back on steak and chocolate when there's no evidence that obesity even exists, let alone that diet has anything to do with it.
