super-fit-fatty

Not a PC title, I know.

It seems the obese are potentially the healthiest people among us. What's more, the greater the obesity the healthier the person. That is, at least, in the view of "the rest of us." How do I know this? Well, take an overweight person with a medical condition and put them in front of a slimmer person. What will the slimmer person invariably say/think? That the problem is due to the excess weight. It is never because, say, that person has a medical condition unrelated to their weight.

I know I'm guilty.
