Fat: Don't Call it a Comeback

I assume that besides the 18-year-old girls Jed still hits on, most the people reading this blog are probably done with their schoolin’, which means it’s time to get fat. Fat sitting at a desk all day, fat from having kids, fat from watching those around us have kids, and the list goes on.

But maybe it’s ok to put on a few pounds. The NY Times has a story about a federally funded study showing that if you got a few extra pounds you are actually expected to live longer – think of it as part of your year’s-supply of food program.

With it being ok to have a few extra pounds in the bank, maybe tight shirts and jeans will fade out and chubby Keira Knightley’s will fade in. Probably not. Either way, somebody needs to get Carson Daily a sandwich.

Do These Genes Make Me Look Fat?

Yes. Actually.
