Then a city in Italy wanted to pay people to lose weight and some experts believe people are fat because they have sick fat cells.
But this news is not so light, no pun-intended, research in British Medical Journal claims obese young men, at the age of 18, are more likely to die prematurely later in life than normal weight teenagers.
