At first they came for the smokers but I did not speak out as I did not smoke. Then they came for the binge drinkers but I said nothing as I did not binge. Now they have an obesity strategy.
Fat people are more likely to become criminals, and their very fatness may help shape their criminality. That's the conclusion reached by Professor Gregory N Price in a study called Obesity and Crime: Is There a Relationship? published in the journal Economics Letters.
This Friday Sky1 HD and world-renowned psychic medium Derek Acorah will attempt to make contact with Michael Jackson in two special shows, Michael Jackson: The Live Seance and Michael Jackson: The Search For His Spirit.
Price's findings seem very similar to evidence that ugly people tend to turn to crime: http://ideas.repec.org/p/iza/izadps/dp2048.html In both cases the mechanism is that people face worse labour market prospects, and so - at the margin - turn to crime. This is just normal optimizing behaviour. It's not saying that fat or ugly people have lower moral standards - just that, like anyone else, they respond to incentives (at the margin). Why should we on the left feel uncomfortable about this? All it's saying is that crime arises (in part) from the structure of capitalist society.
Tall, slim darkly handsome aging juvenile me simply laughs this nonsense off with a shrug of my perfectly formed shoulders. I modelled myself on Raffles.

All crime statistics record is who has been caught. It is simple - us fatties can't run fast enough.
If there was more representation of fat people in the police force, that would even things out.
