However, having a little extra weight actually seemed to help people survive some illnesses — results that baffled several leading health researchers.Pardon me. There's no real conundrum. There are just trade-offs. For some diseases, you're better off a little heavy. For other diseases, you're better off skinny as a rail.
“This is a very puzzling disconnect,” said Dr. JoAnn Manson, chief of preventive medicine at Harvard’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital. “That is a conundrum.”
Nature does not designate
A single optimum weight.
As for me...
I'm looking for a disease
Something from which I might die,
That will let me eat as I please,
Including big helpings of pie.
