How do you know for sure that air pollution causes obesity? Dr. Perera stated that there is a correlation between air pollutants and childhood obesity. She tracked 720 mother-child pairs. Then she said "there is a tendency for some children to become more obese." It doesn't sound very definite to say "there is a tendency". Nothing was said about the study having a control group for comparison purposes.
If you want to maintain a civil discussion, I think it's counterproductive to keep using the word preaching. It's offensive. Suppose I took the opposite point of view that you are preaching about the evils of air pollution?

You can do that if you like. I stand by what I've said, even if I don't know how to take answers and split them into sentences and try to drag down every single sentence with sermon-like bullet points. And there is nothing different in Dr. Perera's approach than there is in the approaches of most of the books and studies you've talked about.
I could site many would-haves, should-haves, and likelys in your former posts. So why is it not okay all of a sudden?
