Well besides the "people who are fat when young will find it harder to lose weight when older" argument, there's things like diabetes. It's a lot easier to get diabetes when younger from a terrible diet than it is when older, yet it'll stay with you when you're older.
That's a factor in itself for people being overweight. It's also something that the NHS has to pay for.

Indeed. When he wants to be intelligent, he's perfectly capable (as can be seen on topical discussions etc). I think he actually rather
enjoys being portrayed as a bit of an eccentric buffoon, just so he can make these outrageous statements and then quickly retract them.
