Ugh.. people get on my nerves.. Yes you can be fat and be healthy, technically. Just because you are fat doesn't mean you sit there and stuff your face full of potato chips all day. Plus, most of the people that I know that have died early in life were skinny, not fat. Thank you very much. No, it isn't a scientific answer, but it is a true one. I am fat and all my levels are fine, I exercise, I eat healthy, I just happen to be fat.

It's been established that although being overweight can indicate health issues, it isn't the determining factor in a person's health. (For exaple, the BMI is complete hogwash.) There are plenty of thin people that are unhealthy and there are plenty of overweight people who are perfectly healthy.
Having high degree of fat in your body can lead to complications like sleep apnea and joint pain, but an active fat guy is more healthy than a sedentary skinny dude any day.
Your body type can be heavily influenced not just by your lifestyle but also by your genetic composition. Since genetics also play a large role in the kind of diseases you might suffer from, it's has just about as much to do with anything when it comes to how long you live.

Temporarily maybe. Eventually,if you are medically overweight,you can get some pretty serious health problems.The best bet is to get down to a medically healthy weight. I use the term "medically" because I don't agree with society's term for a "healthy" weight. Not everyone is supposed to be a size 6. That's not healthy for all people.

No because someone who is overweight, they have a much better chance to get a heart attack, or diabetes. Also eating a lot of trans fat foods will clog you arteries which also causes heart attack.
