I'm not denying that there are fit overweight people out there, or that there are unfit thin people. In terms of how excercise, you're doubtless fitter than me for example. However, the article emphasized that point (about fit & fat vs unfit & skinny) at the start, then went on to say that most of us were slightly overweight because we drove to the shops & parked as close as possible & had sedentary jobs & vegged out of the tv all evening & basically were fat 'cos we didn't excercise at all - well, that hardly sounds like 'slightly overweight but fit' people to me!
I still want to see those questions tho'. How would you ask if one would rather be fat or run over by a truck? 'Mean' and 'stupid' seemed to be other options. Maybe it went like this: Q: Which would you rather be? 1) Fat 2) Mean 3) Stupid 4) Run over by a truck

1) Fat

How can you answer that sensibly?
