The Health Institute of Nutrition

We here at the Institute have received quite a number* of e-mail inquiries about our practice of posting summaries of articles that are already several months old as “News Briefs.” The explanation for this is quite simple.

As we were not around in, say, May of 2007, there’s no way that people could have correctly interpreted weight-related news reports that were issued at that time. There simply wasn’t any organization qualified to help them find the good facts.

It also helps us build an archive of useful information quickly, to show a public that’s always been skeptical about thinness that we’ve “got the goods”.

Finally, as it’s exceedingly unlikely that the media—which has done a tremendous job covering the whole Obesity Crisis—will find anything new to say on the subject of weight and health, referencing older articles may be the only way we get a chance to “weigh in”, so to speak. On the off chance that they do find a new angle to tackle, we’ll be sure to cover the breaking news, as well.

Thank you for reading, and remember: if you have any questions about how the Institute does business… any questions at all… please don’t hesitate to realize that you’re a bad person who will die alone.
