Overweight people live longer Options

perhaps fat people live longer because they have less risk of injury because they do less.

I still think this is stupid and contradicts years worth of research.

Also, I still think this chart is fucking stupid.

I actually thought the same thing strangely but couldn't justify it enough to say it.

Duane, who gives a fuck why people work out? Whether it's to get in better shape, to get laid more often, to get a better job, whatever. At least they're trying, unlike you. I can't imagine you've ever worked out or eaten a proper meal in your life

And how do you know I am not trying? Actually I jog 3 times a week. I do it for cardiovascular reasons..not to become skinny. I don't lift weights because I don't enjoy it, and I have no desire to have a six-pack. I am comfortable with where I am, and I am part of a community that celebrates that comfort.

And the reasoning for why people work out does matter. It often helps determine the duration and intensity of how people are going to work out. People who do it for cosmetic reasons often give up quicker because they find they don't get the results as quickly as they wanted....hence the HUGE demand for all those pills for weight loss. The people who genuinely work out for health reasons often make lifestyle and behavior changes that assist in improving their health.

So, make the nasty comments you want about my weight, because you're far from perfect.
