I was reading the online news this afternoon when I came across this article. The Japanese apparently did some study on how a person's weight can affect their livespan.
From the article itself: "Health experts have long warned of the risk of obesity, but a new Japanese study warns that being very skinny is even more dangerous, and that slightly chubby people live longer."
Woohooo.. Does that mean I can eat more now?
