How is the author overweight eating what he eats, and walking around outside. That makes no sense.
- CodeGlitch 5y agoMy thoughts exactly. He gets plenty of fresh air and exercise, and his meals don't sound too unhealthy, but he's had 2 strokes? Could be genetics I suppose? Glad he's found happiness though.
- watwut 5y agoReading about what he eats, I am not sure why you would expect him to be thin. Both his food and shape are pretty much the normal shape for people living in villages doing small farming.
- StanislavPetrov 5y agoHe says he has biscuits at the end of every meal - he doesn't say how many!
- forsakenkraken 5y agoHe looks similar in size to plenty of Welsh farmers that I know. I suspect that eating a tin of beans every day isn't the best.
- jonnycomputer 5y agoIs the author overweight? Over weight for what? For living a life of hard manual labor? Well in his 70s and still mobile and able to run a farm seems like he's doing fine. Besides ... he may have gained weight after his stroke; used to eating a farmer's meal but not moving about much.
