Fat's not so bad?

I read this article about the CDC reclassifying obesity as the 7th most preventable cause of death, down from 2nd. They reclassified the number of deaths down from 365000 to about 25000. That's quite a swing. Makes you wonder what they were looking at the first time around. They're wondering too, so they're not going to be talking about these numbers too loudly.

However, I like the graphic in the article best. It shows that being underweight actually causes more deaths than being overweight. Of course, those numbers are coming from the CDC, so I wonder how accurate those numbers really are.
