@Anthony_Underscore: It is a fat kid in Russia (check out the writing on the poster in the window) that I believe first ran with a BBC story about Russia's obesity problem several years ago.

Strangely enough, this fails to point out the main thing poor test scores and obesity have in common: being poor.

@leGingerNinja: You're not poor if you can afford to feed your kids McDonald's all the time, but I see your point. Poors in this country tend to only get access to high-fat processed foods due to the absence of decent grocery stores in their neighborhoods.

"Fat kids can still claim to be better at art and cooking." Or eating, anyway.

No, it's the brainy chubby kid who mocks the stupid jocks and ends up looking like Ryan Reynolds or Brad Pitt. In 15 years, these kids will featured on the jumbo-tron in rainbow wigs with painted faces, their oversized hands clutching big cups of beer and bags of salted peanuts.
