Being overweight may increase odds of living longer:

Forget those New Year resolutions you made two days ago; you had no intention of keeping them anyway.

We all do the same thing every year. On December 31 we are all at a weak point; sick of being fat, out of breath from smoking, gamble to much at the casino and are trying how to turn our miserable lives around and get rid of all the bad habit we have.  Our intentions are good but our flesh is weak.

By the end of the first week in January we are on our knees in front of the “ice box” trying to see what we missed that is hiding in the back.  Well I have  some very good news passed on to us by our government.  You know would never steer us in the wrong direction.

Get out the peanut butter and jelly, lobster tails and steak and all the fast foods you can get those fat little fingers around. This new government study gives all of the porkers out there some light at the end of the tunnel and encouragement to pack on the pounds.

After all these years of preaching to overweight people that being fat is not conducive to living a longer life; we have a new study that came out by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Hyattsville, Maryland stating that being overweight may increase the chances of a person living longer??

According to Katherine Flegal, a senior scientist with the government, it may be in a person’s best interest to stretch those “expandomatics” a little more. In a review of almost 100 past studies covering nearly three million people, researchers found that being overweight or slightly obese was linked to about a 6 percent lower risk of dying, compared to people considered “normal weight.”

100 studies covering over 3 million people; that is a hell of a study. This eye opening revelation of a study must have cost the tax payers a few million dollars to tell people that it is OK to be fat. Not just OK; they will probably out live the normal weight person that is on the tread mill for hours a day, exercises 5 times a week, swims 12 miles a month.

Naturally; the government will always try to cover their butts with off the wall/million dollar studies such as this. To back this one up another government study that didn’t take quite as long and cost as much put their caveat attachment to this unhealthy statement. The study results certainly do not give people permission to pack on extra pounds, according to Dr. Steven Heymsfield, the executive director of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I wonder how much Dr. Heymsfield and the Senior Scientist Flegal weigh?

Talk about confusing people. I think I am going to make myself a big fat Capicola and Geona Salami sandwich with the works for lunch.

Hold the mayo, I am trying to watch.
