nope, I'm just a techie who believes in scientific work - and who had a slow morning at work and thus the time to read parts of the report
I occasionally work(ed) with journalists, so I know a little about standards - and how full of crap they are sometimes...
It is quite common that they only take their news from agencies without research of their own.
Just take a look at the faked OBL pic, hundreds of newssites had shown it without checking the source.

Nonetheless this fat tax topic is an interesting one!
