I'd like to see the stats behind that vague calculation.. if indeed it is just the amount of food and fuel that they consume compared to the thinner variety of human, then other arguments need to be made. Such as: Those who exercise should limit the amount that they eat, because they eat more than a lazy person. Actually, maybe they should just stop working out all together. Also, those crazy people who live in jungles, in the far north and south and up in the mountains should move! We are wasting valuable fuel bringing food and other supplies out to their communities. Judging someone's impact on the environment based on their BMI is sooo limiting, and allows those who want any excuse NOT to do something the very excuse they are looking for: I'M not overweight, so I'm not going to change my ways until those who are do. Maybe looking at the foods themselves and how they are produced and shipped, and their health benefits (or lack thereof) would shed some more light on this huge problem. Oh geez.
