Fat Thighs Prevent Heart Disease? W. T. F?

This report is quite interesting.

So, the chronically obese people you see meandering around impoverished town centres in disability scooters are only chain-smoking to offset the imortallity they've gained by having thighs the size of tree-trunks.

Although if the premise of the report were true, then stick-thin supermodels should have the life expectancy of a mayfly.

Maybe its something related to Scandinavia where the survey was conducted. Maybe its the number of stick-thin models dying of hypothermia and the fatties surviving thanks to a layer of blubber that'd put an elephant seal to shame skewing the results.
