Pima Paradox
This essay was my first introduction to Gladwell and his unique approach to writing. It also was stellar commentary against many myths associated with the causes of obesity.

Restructure for Transparency
Malcom Gladwell is a hugely influential public and has many credible detractors. Given his influence this page should be restructured to debunk more thoroughly the opinion he has woven as science. 2600:100F:B1A1:4ACB:6CD4:620A:A742:12FA (talk) 01:07, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
