[quote=Anonymous]Beautifully said, PP. And for the person who thinks they can judge someone's health by sitting next to them on the Metro, please read "The Obesity Paradox," which appeared in the NYT last fall. [url]http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/18/health/research/more-data-suggests-fitness-matters-more-than-weight.html?_r=0[/url] Key quote: In study after study, overweight and moderately obese patients with certain chronic diseases often live longer and fare better than normal-weight patients with the same ailments. The accumulation of evidence is inspiring some experts to re-examine long-held assumptions about the association between body fat and disease. [/quote]
