Summary

Meet Dr. Lindo Bacon (formerly Linda). Dr. Bacon claims that epidemiology studies point to a truth that the medical community has been ignoring: that it's actually not unhealthy to be fat. In fact, it might even lead to longevity! And what's more, if being fat increases one's mortality rate, it's not due to the clogged arteries and failing kidneys. No, it's because of the stress caused by fat-shaming, of course. Start getting rewards for brushing your teeth today - go to https://GetQuip.com/Chen and get your first Quip refill free!!
