I suspect one should eat right even if eating wrong doesn't make you
fat. We were at a company picnic and I was carefully choosing food
that didn't seem to have too much saturated fat or sugar. My lipids
tend to get high if I am not careful. A very thin co worker was eating
everything in sight and enjoying the wonderful variety of food.

I told her I envied her slimness and her ability to eat whatever she
wanted and not gain an ounce. She said her mother was just like her
and could eat anything in any amount and never gain weight. "How old
is your mother?", I asked. "My mom is dead", she said. "I am sorry to
hear that", I replied, "how old was she when she died?". "She was 54",
the woman told me.
