SUGAR: Make a poster

The obesity epidemic is the result of too many people eating too much fatty food. That sounds right, doesn’t it? If being fat is a bad thing, then eating fat must also be bad. 

This is the story that launched a million low-fat diets and products. But is it true? 
There are  two problems with this story: 
(1) eating fat is pretty good for us, at least certain types of fat and in moderation; and 
(2) when people stopped eating fat, it wasn’t as if they instead ate nothing; they began to consume more sugar and more carbohydrates that the body turns into sugar—and which, the evidence suggests, is a huge contributor to obesity.

[1] Make a poster that explains this idea.

[2] Then make a video to explain and describe your poster.
Send an email  message to MANYPOSTERS@gmail.com showing a photo of the poster and a link to the video

How to think like a "FREAK"
The books 'Freakonomics' and 'SuperFreakonomics' have been worldwide sensations, selling tens of millions of copies. They have come to stand for challenging conventional wisdom using data rather than emotion. Questions they examine are typically: 
Which is more dangerous, a gun or a swimming pool? 
How much do parents really matter? 
Why is chemotherapy prescribed so often if it's so ineffective?

Now the books' two authors, Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, have turned what they've learned into a readable and practical toolkit for thinking smarter, harder, and different -- thinking, that is, like a Freak.
