1. Fat people are Soylent Green?

Nope. Martyrs! :think:

2. Fail for a lot of reasons

Moderately overweight elderly people may live longer than those of normal weight, an Australian study suggests.

But being very overweight or being underweight shortened lives.
-------
For younger people, there is a well established health risk from being overweight or obese.
-------
It found that those with a BMI which classed them as overweight not only had the lowest overall risk of dying, they also had the lowest risk of dying from specific diseases: cardiovascular disease, cancer and chronic respiratory disease.

(sigh. Someday the BBC might discover the difference between a sentence and a paragraph.)

4. Fat and fit is healthier than skinny and unfit.

It ain't all just weight.

7. I saw a lot of skinny heart bypass patients

What I didn't see much of was lifelong non smokers.

3. I don't get it.

What's the fail?

6. You better put a helmet on.

:hide:

:evilgrin:

8. Why?

I thought it was scientifically well-established that obesity shortens life spans. Granted some evidence suggests being mildly overweight - but not obese - can prolong a life, but have studies now proven that fit people do not in fact live longer on average than obese people?

5. What's the source of that?

That's bizarre. :crazy:

9. That, sir, is a win.

10. The shower is much "greener"

But only if you do it navy style!

30 seconds to get wet
Soap up
30 seconds to rinse off
