Because your cardiovascular system is [censored] and you'll die otherwise?

Er, no.

Well, I mean, if he is, so am I. 12/15 eggs (usually fried), over
250g butter, over 800 grams chocolate (plus all the hot choc I can drink),
loads of pasta and red meat in a week. I don't drink much (my definition
of binge drinking is "four pints in the same month) but I believe I more
than make that up in whipped cream. I'm 1m 85, 59 Kg. Used to be 57, I
gained 2 Kg in the 18 months since I started cycling again (after 10 years
of mostly sedentary life), which makes it my biggest and fastest weight
gain in my life - and that includes 6 years on and off on fattening diets.
My blood cholesterol is usually below minimum, and other fats are
extremely low. My BP is 60/90 and my BMI is below normal.

Oh yes, I smoke between 10 and 25 cigarettes a day, depending on stress,
level of p***ed-off-ness with my boss, number of security patches to
install on servers, and wife's need to put up new curtains EVERY saturday.

I do no exercise at all. I smoke 20 - 30 cigarettes a day. I drink
more
lager or vodka/red bull than my "recommended allowance". I drive to
work (would be a 5 minute walk), I sit at a desk all day, In the
evening I usually watch 5-6 hrs of TV, I eat burgers, pizzas, fish and
chips, crisps, chocolate etc and very little fruit and veg. I am not
overweight (slight beer belly) and have not been seriously ill since
childhood (Now 44). A recent medical exam showed normal BP, below
average cholesterol and normal BMI. I admit that I could not do a 10
mile run or cycle 40 miles but I don't want/need to so why should I
exercise?

Why indeed? It's his funeral.

He's not the only one. I distinctly remember a lady at work (as I was *jealous*
as hell of her), was very slim and she was a lovely person too. She made great
play of the fact she never exercised and she ate anything and often. I can
attest to the amount of chocolate, sweets and crisps she ate as well as the
amount of full-sugar soft drinks she consumed. I was genuinely astounded at the
amount she ate - she eating almost constantly throughout the day - and she
added insult to injury by saying she looked forward to a "proper dinner" when
she went home of an evening. This woman was a tall and willowy size 10, yet she
literally stuffed her face all day.

BAH!

She was a lovely person. She had a great sense of humour, a kind heart,
hard-working and fun to be around. She could just eat anything and everything
in large quantities and not put on any weight.

But presumably she wasn't literally stuffing her face all day which was what
simonb was saying. I've had the misfortune to be in the same place as 2
people who do literally stuff their faces all day (not both of them at the
same time) and it really is a hideous site, not least because of their
humongousness. Not to mention the fact that this also makes them a little
hard to wash, too. It's a sad waste of a person.

Now someone who merely eats two or three snacks between each meal, well
that's OK

My grandad was sent home from the Somme with 6 months to live after
being gassed aged 18yo smoked 40 woodbines a day from 16yo until his
death aged 87yo and ate everything in front of him and took no
excercise but was always thin.But all his friends died before him.
