Most of my friends do not believe the scientific consensus that being overweight causes health problems. On both sides of the argument you see the same phenomenon you observe here—people do not draw a distinction between this assertion, and a particular prescription, in this instance “dieting is good for your health”. From what I’ve looked at so far, I’m pretty confident of the first, but much less so of the second.

This is a great example, thanks.
