Pretty much every ailment that can negatively affect lives from stress, depression, back ache to even the more serious stuff (not that these aren't serious) can be avoided, cured or their effects reduced with exercise.

How many really fat old people do you see? Not many. They all keeled over in their 50s and 60s.

On 5Live this morning, they were running a piece on why models should be more representative of the reality of today's population and that - in not so blunt words - why ad campaigns should feature more fatties and that their bodies should be accepted and normalised. Why?

We all know this so why is it still a struggle for so many people to take heed and take action. Is it because of this obscure need put out there by the do-gooders to encourage acceptance of the fuller figure?
