Over the years, I've put on a few pounds. The way I figure it, I'm sequestering carbon.

I'm always looking for logical reasons to stay plump.

I'm adding this one to my short list.

  1. Easier to float in water. Less likely to drown.

  2. Easier to not die of hypothermia

  3. Hard seats are less hard with tush cush

  4. Animals seem to like plump humans more (maybe they assume we know where the food is).

  5. Lower carbon footprint.

Lower carbon footprint.

Deeper footprint
