Arthur Agatston, M.D., a preventive cardiologist and an associate professor of medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, argues on the Huffington Post that fat people can be healthy and thin people can be unhealthy.
The context? Dr. Agatston is arguing that we should not be making calls on the Supreme Court depending upon the weight of the potential Justice.
I agree. But we know enough about these candidates to learn a little something about their fitness habits. Should Obama's next Supreme Court Justice be a thin person? I don't care. But I think he or she (and we are all pretty sure it is a she) should be a healthy person who lives a healthy lifestyle that involves fitness.
