Obesity silver lining? Had a thought last night.  Woke up this morning and started googling to see if my idea was supported by the stats.  It is. My theory is that the rise in obesity obviously makes obeasts completely asexual and unattractive to all.  Would that also translate into a drop in rape? Actually it does:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics#United_States The rise in obesity in the 1990s corresponds to a pretty pronounced drop in rape.
