If you read the article you'd find the BBC are just reporting on research in a reasonably objective way. I have already seen another news report on this research with the headline "Low self esteem causes obesity", which is skewing the research which suggests low self esteem can lead to obesity, but not saying its a cause.

As I said in my post above, you cannot blame everything on low self esteem - so when there is proper research we should welcome it and see what we can learn.
