Former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop funded his Shape Up America campaign with more than $2 million from Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig. So while these sources may claim obesity = poor health, a majority of their research is inaccurate because it's skewed to scare people into joining weight loss organizations.
