Below is a link to a very interesting article in today's New York Times showing that in fact "overweight"* people have a lower death rate than those people who are "normal" weight, "under-" weight or "obese."
Just some interesting food for thought if you are one of the countless individuals trying to "get healthy" by dropping those last 5, 10 or 20 pounds....and starving yourself in the meantime.
Read on...and don't let the headline deceive you.

*I put this term and others in quotes because what any particular guidelines deem as being "overweight" is not necessarily what any one of us deems as being "over" the weight at which our bodies are happiest.
