One fall from a bike could have broken several bones, and God knows what else. "Fat and fit?" Maybe, fat and strong, for the moment. However, the odds are stacked against you for things like diabetes and other health problems. I guess, to make my case, I should research the life expectancy of Sumo wrestlers. That would be interesting to hear about. Nippon Eiseigaku Zasshi. 1995 Aug;50(3):730-6. [Risk factors for mortality and mortality rate of sumo wrestlers] [Article in Japanese] Hoshi A, Inaba Y. Department of Epidemiology and Environmental Health, Juntendo University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan. We compared the mortality rate of sumo wrestlers with that of the contemporaneous Japanese male population, and inferred the usefulness of an index for predicting longevity in sumo wrestlers. The standardized mortality ratios (SMR) for sumo wrestlers were very high in each period, and also high for ages from 35 to 74. Cox's proportional hazards model analysis revealed that the variables in "nyuumaku" entry year and BMI were statistically significant (p 0.05) factors in mortality. In the survival curves, the lower BMI group had good life expectancy compared with the higher BMI group. In conclusion, the higher rate of mortality in sumo wrestlers seems to be due to the markedly higher rate of mortality from 35 to 74 years old. In sumo wrestlers, also, this study provides evidence that the higher overweight groups have substantially higher risks for mortality. Publication Types: English Abstract PMID: 7474495 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] DK This is a study that was funded by the diet industry and the data was twisted for the desired outcome. Sumo wrestlers, being fat and fit, have a very high life expectancy. --- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I'm going to answer this as though it is not a troll post. There is hardly any diet industry in Japan - few of them need it. Asians tend to have a very strong societal bias against fat, and tend to eat less, and especially less sugar and fat. Since sumo wrestlers are considered athletes, it'd be like the diet industry psying for studies to show that power lifters have a shorter life expenctancy the more body fat they have. BTW, I believe that is true (anyone from MFW know more about that?). I'd suspect that a 40 BMI sumo wrestler would have a better life expectancy than a BMI 40 couch potato, but that's not what they were studying. DK |

Somehow, this then gives them justification for being FF cos the rest of society is so mean toward them. I realize that every time that there is a cross post to soc.support.fat-acceptance that someone is trolling. I usually try and stay out of the fray, but this particular topic really hit a nerve. I am related to more than my share of people that weigh 300+ lbs., and so it is somewhat heartbreaking to me to see Lynn McAfee and her ilk portrayed as some sort of fitness goal. Her message would be perfectly appropriate for someone that is so unfit that they can't get exercise standing up, but the *real* goal shouldn't be the squalid half-life that you get when you can barely walk around town. The real goal should be to be actually fit. I know I am almost certainly being trolled, but I can't help but think that the topic is worth talking about anyhow. I know that the whole subject makes me look idealistic and naive, but to a certain extent that's who I am . Besides, I like writing about this stuff, and it definitely helps motivate me to step up my own fitness efforts. To a certain extent it could probably be argued that I am trolling BBW. Jason |

Fat and fit is not a myth. I would ride a bike against any thin person and keep up just fine. I ride at least two miles to the grocery store or the coffee shop in my town almost every day.

Claimg being able to rid e abik for a few miles as being a sign of health and fitness shows how distorted your world view is - such an acheivement is akin to scratching a scab and claim to be an othopeadic surgeon. |

Bull****. Everyone can control their fat. They are lucky people, then. I'm not one of them. That's because you are a pig.

And I'm delighted that I never did have the "willpower" to stay on a diet for long; I'd probably be even fatter today if I did. -END QUOTE- Eat less, piggy. -- |

Riding your bike two miles is nothing unless it's all up a steep hill. I jump on my bike and do twenty mile rides several times a year, and I'm not even all that tired when I'm done, and I'm in not in great shape. Walking without loosing your breath just means you don't need medical treatment. |

I think the media and the helthcare system want the world to believe being fat is a handicap and it isn't. Some extra weight doesn't hurt at all as long as you are mobile and able to do what you want. Enough of the negativity. Ken Young Depends on age. If you are overweight and 85 years old and not out of breath and able to ride a bike 2 miles, that might be OK to be overweight, but if you are 25, you should be able to ride 50 miles or more at a good pace. Otherwise you are struggling and when you do get older it will catch up with you. Denial is part of being overweight for lots of folks. dkw |
