    Tourists to the Faroe Islands should be issued with a health warning. Imagine stumbling upon this on your supposed idyllic vacation - you'd be scarred for life.

    In the wake of my article on obesity, several people have asked me about my own weight, exercise and eating habits. As you can see from my profile picture, I weigh around ten kilos, swim five hours a day and catch fish with my teeth.

    Or I could just "do a Toby Young": fail to get the grades but have my dad ring Oxford to let me in anyway

    Good luck to , getting his A-level results today.

    Incredible after so many DoD denials. Reporter: Did US refuel plane, provide bombs that killed 44 kids in ? US official: “Well, what difference does that make? We are providing the refueling ... selling them munitions...We are not denying that.”

    And then there are the predatory corporations who own academic journals, get their research, articles and editing for free, but charge libraries and the public a fortune to read them? Ring any bells, ?

    “Predatory” vs trustworthy journals: What do they mean for the integrity of science?

    We have a very strange definition of charitable activity in the UK, as this article by points out. Why are schools whose purpose is to preserve privilege classified as charities?

    Another example of the way in which obese people are patronised and treated as a burden by those who don't know what they're talking about.

    Replying to @Gillian_RD @GeorgeMonbiot
    No-one is shaming fat people. Making fat people aware of why they are fat is the first step to getting them to acknowledge the problem, commence change and be less of a burden on their families and society as a whole through sequelae-related domination of healthcare services.
