70% of our respondents are male and 30% female. Given that surveys consistently show women read more books than men, the predominance of male reviewers is highly significant.

This is really only interesting if you think of Amazon as a book company, or if you assume that their ranking system favors book reviews over, say, video games or computers or speakers.
There is no reason to believe that fat people eat more ice cream than skinny people. I highly recommend Linda Bacon's Health At Every Size for more discussion on the topic. I know quite a few fat vegetarians. Bodies are unique and they don't all work the exact same way -- it's not as easy as assuming that the fat person you're looking at inhales a tub of ice cream every morning.
