About two years ago, a group of federal researchers reported that overweight people have a lower death rate than people who are normal weight, underweight or obese.

This is incredible news to me. I don't know why it is not on the headlines of every paper in America. I mean, this is BIG, people! (no pun intended). Until now I was under the (apparently false) impression that the death rate for all people was 100%.

Wow.
