My sister is chunkier and was a rugby player and a fantastic all-around athlete when we were in school. So she's in much better shape than I am, but people always assume the opposite.<br />Also, you just called me skinny-flabby!

Make them prove that, all other things being equal, a thin person is healthier than a fat one. Because that is the thing that has yet to be proven.Rileynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142743576584523533.post-84957975973067953142011-04-14T08:51:08.797-06:002011-04-14T08:51:08.797-06:00OK, but if the thin=healthy equation holds up, the...OK, but if the thin=healthy equation holds up, then a thin meth addict would be healthier than a chubby marathon runner on a healthy diet. And in fact, when most people see that chubby marathon runner, they think of him/her as unfit, while the thin addict is judged as healthier based on his/her thinness.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203151255248154129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142743576584523533.post-92149770150827752912011-04-14T08:48:08.348-06:002011-04-14T08:48:08.348-06:00But when your talking about addicts, its the effec...But when your talking about addicts, its the effects of the drug that makes them unhealthy not that their so thin.AssMannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142743576584523533.post-8895308351446705822011-04-14T08:47:01.546-06:002011-04-14T08:47:01.546-06:00OK, it's probably not politically correct, but...OK, it's probably not politically correct, but I love, love, LOVE the crack/meth example. We like to pretend that being healthy is the goal, but we all know that the real goal is just thinness. And since that's the case, crack or meth really is the most efficient method.
