Statistical lies. Besides, even it were the same length of lifespan, the quality of life is not the same.

It's the Guardian's Lifestyle section (which isn't saying much) but seriously? "Fat can be healthy, too!" IN WHAT FUCKING WORLD?!

This is not even bad science, as no science says any such thing, this is just bad statistics.
Certainly, yoyo dieting is bad for you, that's why you do it once, properly, and don't get fat again, instead of serially trying every fad diet under the sun.

Right --- just like looking like Raging Chestpain or Tess Munster can actually improve your sex life...

Then I'd rather die early.
...oh, wait, it doesn't actually work like that and fats are just trying to make themselves feel better about their disgusting life choices and will live shorter, lower-quality lives.

Absolute horseshit.
Only old people can take advantage of this, as their appetite generally reduces because of age. Having a tad extra fat helps, because they burn the excess over many years. For the fatsos reading this: REDUCED APPETITE, but only when you get old.
Fatsos die before getting old.

my fav part was when it mentioned "studies" without linking or referencing them. A+.
I honestly have a theory that these cows think they can convince everyone fat is healthy, we will all become fat. And then no one will bully them or find them unattractive.... fat chance.

Thought: does the "normal BMI" stat include people who die from accidents? Like skydiving, mountain climbing, or getting hit by a bus? Because if fat people are sitting inside on their fat fucking asses all the time, their chances of dying from one of those things (or similar) is significantly reduced.
