Being thin makes us look older -This is not a joke-

Being thin makes us look older than smoking, drinking, stress, long-term antidepressant use and exposure to the Sun! This is not a joke... What would you say, if I told you that being thin makes us look older than smoking, drinking, stress, long-term antidepressant use and exposure to the Sun? -- And on April Fool's Day of all days! This is not a joke. I know it sounds like a joke, but it's really true. Researchers from Case Western University actually found that being thin makes us look older than smoking, drinking, stress, long-term antidepressant use and exposure to the Sun. I thought readers might want to know ASAP. Click here I don't know about you but these findings reminded me of a Blog that I posted a little more than a year ago called: "Chubby for Life" Click here My earlier Blog was inspired by CDC research that found that the overweight have a lower mortality rate than people who are underweight, obese or normal. I wondered if people would add some guilt free pounds as a result of those findings. As a nation we gained weight - but the guilt seemed to hang in there. Question: Will these new findings have an impact on our waistlines? Do you think thin will win or will chubby prevail? PS-Happy April Fools Day– (This Blog is Not a Joke)

Chubby for Life

ChubbyforLife.com Further down the cyber hole, we encounter: "Thin was in."

Believe it or not, there was a time when people actually strived to be skinny. Really. No, really... I know how absurd that sounds, but it's true. Thin was in... but that was then and this is now:

Chubby became chic within a year after a report in The Independent* that said "... a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an American federal agency, says that being chubby may not be so bad. Actually, the report says more; it says that overweight (though not obese) people - calculated by body mass index (BMI) - have a higher risk of dying from kidney disease and diabetes than people of normal weight, but a lower risk of dying from a range of conditions including emphysema, pneumonia and lung disease. And it found that overweight people are no more likely to die from heart disease and cancer than those of normal weight.

As a whole, the research says that the overweight have a lower mortality rate than people who are underweight, obese or normal. In other words, a little fat appears to have a protective effect."

Chubby may or may not be healhier than thin, but Chubby is more fun. I can see it now:

After the feeding frenzy and people started to settle down, the "Chubby Is Chic" infomercials flooded every corner of cyberspace:
