More calories less crime?
Maybe we factor this into parole decisions.

Interesting, but...
In the graph of the US, the fall in homicide doesn't appear to be related, or even coincident with eh rise in BMI. I find it difficult to believe that increasing BMIs are responsible for the drop in crime. If you recall, Malcolm Gladwell made a similar case for abortion.
