This post, once you get past the luggage review, is dense with information. First, how to think about observational studies v. an intervention study (crib notes - use one to form hypotheses, use the other to test them. The former is useless in establishing causality, the later is necessary to establish causality).
Second, he summarizes what we all need to know about fat cells and children.
Third, he touches on the fact that exercise has not been shown to be an effective tool for weight loss. He concisely summarizes the info on this topic and then comments on two recent studies confirming this opinion.
Lastly, he gets into fiber. I like his perspective: "Fiber - who needs it?" I don't.
