Obesity kills more than cigarettes do

I guess we all like to think cigarettes are to blame for all our health problems — so much, in fact, that we’ll even put gross pictures on the packaging to convince everyone.

Not so quick, though, according to the New England Journal of Medicine. Obesity is the No. 1 killer in the U.S., so should we also require junk food packaging to carry all these graphic and gross pictures?

My, how we like to single things out that we don’t like.
