I wonder if this is in part a demonstration of mind over matter. From The Telegraph: Believing you are fat could lead to weight gain

An interesting article from the Wall Street Journal.

Whenever I read “according to a recent study out of…” I always look to see who paid for the study. More times than not, the actual underwriters are not revealed. This is the case in the Journal with this article too.
