For reference, here's the study that they usually get this from. Note that this reduced mortality rate only applied to "merely" overweight people, NOT obese people. And since nobody below Class II obesity even fucking considers themselves fat nowadays, anyone citing this study is pretty much guaranteed to not be the type of person this study is even referencing.
Anyway, lots of researchers have proposed explanations for this, one of the main ones being that fatasses go to the doctor more often than thin people, which means they're also getting screened more often and they're more likely to discover major diseases earlier. Therefore they lived slightly longer. So congrats, fatty! You're living a life of constant disease. But we all knew that, didn't we?
Seems like a better option than stuffing yourself full of sugar and lard would be to just see your doctor for your usual checkups and not just when you're sick, but hey, what do I know. These cows all claim to know more than doctors themselves, so they surely know more than a pleb like me.

Well, I mean, I run my ass off most days, and it makes me tired. I go to bed about 10:30 every night, sleep until 7am, and wake up feeling refreshed. If those few hours of being tired after the run counts as exhaustion, then guilty as charged.

Man. No matter how many times I hear fat people making this claim, it still angers me. You think after hearing it for the 6th or so time I would get over it and just laugh at their ignorance, but for some reason this really pisses me off.
If I ever hear this IRL I honestly don't know how I would react.

At this point, I don't see why doctors even bother. After a certain body fat percentage, it should be legal to just euthanize fat fucks without their consent. This could save the healthcare industry millions in the long run, too, meaning cheaper medical care for shitlords.

Good, good. This is natural selection at work. Look everyone, how it voluntarily ignores all signs of danger easily recognizable by all other successful candidates of its species and instead elects for extinction. We're watching science happen here people.

It's so fucking aggravating.
Maybe I'm being overly pessimistic but I have a feeling that this retarded opinion that fat is healthy is only going to become more and more prevalent.

The problem is that it doesn't stop with them. They keep shitting out little retards who are already damaged at birth because of their parents' health, and then they make them even worse by teaching them their logic.

Yeah, those 115 year old fat fuck Japanese people are tipping the scales at 400+ pounds. /s
Fucking morons.

Even sumo wrestlers have lately been much smaller than they were 20+ years ago because they have realized that the bigger ones die sooner.

It's not that they live longer, it just seems longer to the rest of us for having to put up with their lazy, selfish, obnoxious behavior.
