Actually, it's easy ... my favorite piece of exercise equipment happens to be a fork ...Kim:It's OK to say "don't generalize" - that's rarely a good thing and there will always be exceptions. There are people who live till their late 80s who smoked since they were teenagers (my uncle was one of them), so maybe we shouldn't generalize and say smoking is bad for you either. We all know that's simply not true though - and I would hope that we also all know that 6ft people who weigh 300lbs are not usually going to be prime candidates for physical fitness!
Pushing an issue under the rug because of a few examples to the contrary doesn't seem very clever to me at all. Of course exercise and fitness are the key - but in my own experience it's pretty hard to exercise a lot without losing weight - unless you are really pushing weights or something and actually 'body building'.
And in any case, I'm not saying "don't generalize" ... I'm saying "define your terms". I know people who think a size 2 is too fat.
Would you consider the guy you're using for an avatar to be fit? If so, why? If not, why not?Kim:Most studies show that age coupled with weight issues are a leading cause of cardiac disease - much the same way as they can say smoking is a leading cause of cancer. Doctors never seem to have much problem identifying whether someone is too fat or not (at least MINE doesn't! )
