Well I don't know whether or not this is counts as a news story...but I found this on yahoo. 20 habits that make you fat. People think eating fat would make you fat. So when they eat low-fat foods, sometimes they gain more weight. The calories in low-fat foods are sometimes the same as regular foods so it doesn't really make a difference. Thirty years ago, people tried to cut down on food to lose weight of not gain any fat. Now, obesity has doubled among adults and tripled among children.
Fat Habits:
#1: Eating "low-fat"
#2: Not seeking nutrition advice
#3: Sleeping too little or too much
#4: Eating free restaurant foods
#5: Drinking soda—even diet!
