			I wouldn't have guessed that.  But as discussed, being thin certainly doesn't indicate fitness accurately.  I know plenty of thin people that couldn't run 5K, period.

They have no reason to be as inflated and big as they are, so they make up reasons like "obesity epidemics" and "fat = dead". Their "research" doesn't stand up to the least bit of scrutiny though.

			i wouldnt deny if richmond is fit though.  The gym's are always packed here, and minoru track is pretty busy... hell even my 60 year old godmother and godfather go to watermania and do water excersises.
