Another reason to be fat

Yea lets put up your risk of heart disease and other problems for a small chance to help in a car accident
I'll be sure to put this in my mind
 
"Moderately overweight males are more likely to survive serious car accidents than either the thin or the very fat. Apparently, a bit of extra padding -- but not too much -- provides extra protection, according to the study.

The research suggests that there's "a threshold, a cut-off point," where overweight suddenly becomes dangerous instead of protective, noted study lead author Dr. Shankuan Zhu, an assistant professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin."

moderately overweight, not obese.
 
Hey, I'm a small skinny guy and I've survived being hit head on and having some kid in his mustang skid out in the rain right into my driver side door....but maybe I'm just lucky 😉
 
Hm.. I've gotten a little bit of flab over the winter. Does that mean I have to get into a car accident--and survive--to justify it? 😀
