Not only does it expose the highly flawed methodology used to calculate those ideals, it also argues that you can be fit at any weight. In fact, the author asserts, being heavier is actually better for you in some ways: statistically, you have a better chance of living a longer life if you're both active and on the heavy side. But there's the rub: being heavy in itself is no virtue. Exercise and healthful eating are still the keys to vitality and longevity. It's just that weight control has been unrealistically foisted upon us by the insurance and fashion industries, making us miserably concerned with girth when there's often no need for worry. 276715 18 7 2002 Big Fat Lies: The Truth about Your Weight and Your Health total:19|5:7|4:7|3:3|2:1|1:1| 19 75 38 4 1 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 09 10:19:24 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 09 10:19:24 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Wed Apr 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 16:04:33 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 30 09:18:15 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 25 06:33:15 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 25 06:35:28 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 03 07:51:10 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 03 08:04:05 -0700 2008 2 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Nov 19 21:30:23 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 21:30:23 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 27 21:56:19 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 21:56:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 19 07:32:16 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 19 07:32:16 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 31 08:21:49 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 31 08:21:49 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 17 08:23:24 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 08:23:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jun 21 19:12:30 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 21 19:12:30 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 03 19:36:19 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 05 13:03:40 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 19:36:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 03 08:39:24 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 09:05:29 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jun 03 00:18:04 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 00:18:04 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue May 12 15:59:28 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 15:59:28 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Mar 17 07:19:26 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 17 07:19:26 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Sat Sep 26 14:32:25 -0700 2009 Mon Jan 26 06:43:56 -0800 2009 Sat Sep 26 14:32:25 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Dec 01 14:10:41 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 01 14:10:41 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Thu Nov 13 23:14:17 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 13 23:14:17 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Oct 30 18:05:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 30 18:05:00 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Fri Oct 03 08:15:15 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 03 08:15:15 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=285217
