In the comments a few posts down, Ann and I are having an interesting (if I do say so myself) discussion about correlation v. causation when it comes to health and obesity. Official NIH info about health, obesity, and determining whether losing weight would decrease your risk of disease here.
Be sure to check out the mouseover in that comic. :)
UPDATE: crap, seems you can't see the mouseover. Here's what it says:
Correlation doesn't imply causation, but it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively and gesture furtively while mouthing 'look over there'.
