Why being 'overweight' actually means you live longer

Turns out that if you are in excess of what is considered to be normal BMI then odds are that you will live longer than within "normal" range.

Gee, are the leftist fascists making up facts in the healthcare industry as well? Of course they are!

Those darn long lived fat people are so anti science! Something must be done! Punish them with higher premiums, higher taxes! After that, denounce them for taking more than their share of BMI !
