One of Reuters dumb headlines
Obese Americans now outweigh the merely overweight
Yep..... they intended to say that there are now more obese Americans than there are overweight Americans who are not yet obese. They needed to use the word "outnumber" instead of "outweigh", but, being mainstream journalists, they didn't have that simple word in their lexicon.Instead, there's this whacked out headline, stating that the obvious-by-definition is somehow a new occurrence.
Three cheers for Reuters!
