    Because if you’re 300 lbs in that age demo, maybe the fatality rate is far higher than 0.1%.

    Right now the fatality rate among professional sumo wrestlers is 16%. That’s from a very small sample so I wouldn’t expect that rate to hold but there’s mounting evidence from all over the world that high BMI is a significant risk factor for everyone under age 60.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
