DISQUS

Actually, many people do eat whatever they want. The difference is that those people often don't want to eat lots of food, or eat calorie-rich foods. That's why they aren't fat.

These are like the people who smoke socially once every 4 months and occasionally use addictive drugs like cocaine yet somehow magically never get addicted.

I think the only demographic immune to conventional wisdom with respect to health is alcoholics. There are functional alcoholics who go to work on time and don't beat their kids, and then there are absolute friggin' train wrecks. The difference is basically a coin flip inside the womb, and yet one group will end up living into their 90s somehow. Everybody else has to play by the same rules.
