Pleasantly plump/ equals a longer life??? Look at the chart.

Society doesnt want to accept this, but the science says quite clearly love handles arent unhealthy.

Ive always suspected this to be true, I've always thought if I was healthier then it would be easier for me to gain weight. Some skinny people are healthy but (speaking for myself and a few other skinny folks I know) a lot of us skinny folks are skinny because we are not perfectly healthy. Exactly the opposite of what our modern (idiotic) society wants everyone to believe.

(As pumpkin growers, we ought to have some extra insight about the ability-to-gain-weight being indication of good health, not poor health?)

Good to know. I have been a bit plump most of my life. The one time I managed to get slim was when I was receiving cancer therapy. The poison of chemo therapy took my appetite away entirely. I could get sick just thinking about food.
