Skinny people aren't all that common in my area.


Bet you are obese too.


Overweight according to this.

Thought so.

And that link has a superfluous trailing t

The article says being overweight or obese is better
than being underweight for people over 65.


But there is no rigorous scientific evidence to support
that claim. The references in that article dont even
consider the obvious possibility that the skinny ones
are skinny BECAUSE of their health problems rather than
the health problems being the result of being skinny.

Typical **** house 'science'

People live longer with some meat on their bones.


In fact they live longer on a starvation diet.
