Pretence

Perusing Bri's blog, I noted this telling phrase;

But little is known about the impact of obesity on quality and quantity of life

It's funny how many times-in the set up to a payoff of OMGZOBESITYKILLS, they just flat out tell the truth isn't it?

We should just collect all the examples of this and build up a true picture of what is known as opposed to what it is claimed is known.

Little to nothing is known yet pretence abounds.

Pretending that calorie/ dietary restriction makes you thin. Pretending that fatness is a disease. Pretending that 'risk factor' = destiny. Pretending that absence of said factors=long life with a pristine corpse.

And so forth.

Pretend, pretend, pretence.

How did what looked to be a post religious age end up with so much need for pretence?
