Fat Religion

Generally, participating religion is seen as a positive life influence, it makes people happier and healthier.  However, a new study shows that it also might make people heavier.  The article mentions several theories, but I think it left out an important religious message that could correlate: God loves you for you.  People who are religious generally believe in a God who accepts them as they are.  God doesn't want people to change themselves dramatically as long as they are being faithful to him.  So, it just might be the religious people don't see their weight as a problem because they don't think God sees it as a problem either.
