I was puzzled by the diagram on page 4 of Inside Science (“Food, glorious
food”, 18 October). While the evidence of an increase in numbers of clinically
obese males is all around us, I fail to see the reason for comparing them with
the rates for churches with spires. Have the facts been checked, as I am unaware
of any criteria by which the obesity of a church can be evaluated.
Yours with tongue in cheek,
