Fat being good?

[Jamous]

Question. Theoretically, would this be correct. If you had huge amounts of fat on your body, but this didn't cause any of the problems it usually does (heart disease, etc.) would actually live LONGER, because you have more energy to run off? Discuss.

You'd be easier to catch...

 

[skitzo van]

You'd have a full time coat

That doesn't make sense. The attributes of fat is that it affects your system, but gets burned off when running. Taking off part of fat's deciding attribute greatly increases the chance that you will live longer.

More stress on your bones would make your bones deterioate more quickly. it might put pressure on your organs if you're lying down. Also this is a longshot but maybe your neck would be so fat that breathing is harder or opening your mouth is harder?

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

You'd be bullet proof?

 

[Player 2]

You'd survive longer in a desert, and double thread btw.

 

[Boxmeister]

THIS is a double thread? Seriously??

If it didn't affect the heart it would affect something else, and if we're taking out disease factors, I don't think it would matter if you were fat or thin. If you're fat you need less to eat and have more to burn, if you're thin you just keep eating and maintain a balance.

Fat kids are hard to kidnap

You can't see why your wife doesn't touch you at night. Unless you're extremely well-endowed.

Fat is a good insulator, you'd die of dehydration.

 

[Knonsense]

So you are asking if, theoretically, there were no drawbacks to being fat would being fat be good?

Yes.

 

[Spaceman_Spiff]

You'd be easier to catch...

Yes but they're ,much less attractive to pedophiles

Not if you're good at walking on balls like circus clowns. Then they're easy to kidnap and funny for all witnesses to describe.

 

[Internet Kraken]

If there were no negative aspects to being fat then we would all be fat.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

Hmmm, if you consider heart attacks and gout good, then yes.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

Yeah but you'd still be unattractive

Not to chubby chasers you wouldn't be.

 

[Halfbreed13]

If there were no negative aspects to being fat then we would all be fat.

I wouldn't, I like to see my feet.

 

[Cherry Cola]

You'd be a great bait for when the Zombie apocalypse happens.
