New Study: Chubby People Live Longer!

Okay, it’s going to be a short, but emotionally charged, week in current events. In response, I thought I’d start light to get us all off right. Plus, most of us overate yesterday on Labor Day and I thought you might like what I found.

There is a new study that reveals that chubby people live longer than skinny people. What? That’s right! Here is a brief excerpt:

“Heath experts have long warned of the risk of obesity, but a new Japanese study warns that being very skinny is even more dangerous, and that slightly chubby people live longer.”

You can read the rest here. It goes on to say that the group that did best in the study had a BMI between 25-30. YES! I’m right there.

As much as I’ve told this to my wife to justify my affinity for ribs, chicken wings, and bacon, she’s not buying it.
