Just stop telling me that you can't be too thin
Article Abstract:
Being underweight is just as unhealthy as being overweight. Naturally thin people are not automatically fit. Those who are thin and wish to gain weight have no incentive to watch their diet or do exercise. They receive little sympathy either, because slimness is fashionable and envied, even if it is sometimes unhealthy and stressful for the person. It is difficult to obtain advice unless the condition is anorexic. Stress is thought to be a factor in underweight people. Diet experts disagree over how best to gain weight.

Anything he can say, I can say longer...
Article Abstract:
Measurement of the lengths of sentences used by politicians is a good comparative guide to their verbosity. Labour leader Neil Kinnock, long famed for overspeaking, used sentences with an average length of 29 words on television on the night the election was announced compared to Conservative leader John Major's 22 and Liberal Democrat chief Paddy Ashdown's 16. Three weeks later the scores were 26, 19 and 21 respectively. They also use their own favourite phrases again and again.
