The citiations is linked to a website where I could not gain access.<p>Here are my critisims:<p>* 178 people from one community is too small of a data sample.
* The majority were black older women so there could be cultral/racial bias
* They do not state the details of their 'weight-loss program' so we can't scrutize its effectiveness.
* They don't even shame the patients, they just measure their mood.<p>I was really hoping they were going to make participants walk the street naked as people say "Shame, Shame, Shame." and the measure the affect.<p>I hear Japan has a fat tax and it works. Japanese companies can be taxed for having fat employees.
