Ok, Jase (and everyone), I came across this one today. It actually made me laugh. This one is by the Daily Telegraph but doesn't have an author which makes me suspect. LESBIANS are twice as likely as heterosexual women to be overweight or obese, which puts them at greater risk for obesity-related health problems and death, US researchers said. . What are your thoughts? *

I feel a poll coming on.  Look at it from a medical stand point and not from a body image stand point. Meaning, if you're a size 8 you're probably not considered fat by medical standards.

Well, it looks like they used self-reporting to determine both that women were lesbians and that they were overweight. What do you think the odds are that women who are willing to admit to falling into one less-than-optimally-socially-rewarded category will admit to falling into two? Versus not admitting to either?

LOL Most of the lesbians I know aren't fat either ;0)
Thats like saying all lesbians are granola dykes, love nature, hate to shave or use body care products, and abhor men!

Whoa! Whoever says that obviously never watches "Workout" on Bravo or has seen Jackie Warner. I know men who would like to have a body as hard as hers. And it frequently shows the women she dates - and they aren't pudgy either.  - Jackie Warner (I'd kill for those Abs - or maybe that would be die trying  )

No no no...all lesbians ARE fat, just as all frenchmen stink of onions and garlic, all italians survive on pasta, all australians are drunken lagerlouts, all englishmen are football hooligans and all chinese people eat with chopsticks. Of course.
(Hang on, I'm just re-checking the Australian one....)

Hell, we get called everything else. Might as well throw 'fat' in the mix.
