Would you rather be a an endomorph or ectomorph? In other words a normally fat person or a normally skinny person. I am naturally lean. Its hard for me to gain weight. I think I would rather be a someone who is naturally heavy. You don't have to eat as much. You can miss a meal a not have to worry about losing weight. Just a thought.

Skinny. They tend to live longer/healthier lives.

Skinny because I enjoy the pleasure of bulking then cutting up.

In the past I wanted to be an endomorph....As I was the definition of an ectomorph. I realize now that I enjoy food immensely and wouldn't be able to consume the vast amounts that I do if I were an endomorph.

So I vote ectomorph.

it is actually healthier to be slightly overweight than underweight. most people who are underweight have severe nutritional defecencies

I would much rather be naturally skinny... It's a pain in the ass to have to weigh my celery to make sure I don't gain weight

you're more likely to live longer if you are slightly underweight. it's well established that a calorie restricted diet lets people live longer, and it's been shown conclusively in mice.

Yes, mice are VERY close relatives of humans. (I'm not really arguing either way...)

Most of the food over in China/Japan is much healthier than what we(majority of Americans) have here.

"1) It does not mean that homo sapiens is 99% identical to mouse. It has also been revealed, that the mouse DNA is at least 10% less information, compared to the human DNA."

Evolution is a crock of shit anyway.

You really believe evolution is a crock of shit?

Some concepts yes, some no. I believe natural selection can create new traits/characteristic within a given species, but I don't believe that it's possible for species to cross-over into one another (with a few exceptions like mules/donkeys whatever, but they can't breed).

Whatever, this is a boring topic, and I'm on break... I'm officially setting my brain at idle for the week

lets just analyze the two scenarios for a second.

ectomorph-skinny dude who can't gain weight.
solution-eat burgers, fries, pizza, steak basically anything with lots of calories and make sure you eat enough protein and good fats.

endomorph-fat fuck who can't lose the belly.
solution-be conscious of what you put into your body 24/7 as that is the only healthy way to get fat off and keep it off.

hhhmmm, looks like a simple choice to me

living longer does not neccessarily equate having to a better quality of life...

I used to be really fat my whole life until I started working out about 6yrs ago. It sucks to be fat, i would have much rather be skinny. Now I'm neither and I love it. From a prior fat guy's perspective, it sucks to be that way but it can be easily overcome with a little knowledge and dedication.
