The upshot here is that if you're a thin person who feels compelled to nag fat people about their weight because you're concerned about their health, you can stop it now.

"A 10-study meta-analysis that assessed the combined effects of cardiorespiratory fitness andobesity on mortality found that, compared with normal weight and fit individuals, unfitindividuals had twice the mortality rate, regardless of body mass index (BMI).27 Obesebut fit individuals had similar rates of survival as individuals of average weight (ie, BMI
