Poll links fatness and happiness


....... though there is a sex bias!

A new poll has found fat people are happy, with nine out of every ten overweight people satisfied with life and the person they are.

The Newspoll looked at people's happiness and their attitudes to weight and health and found more than half the population thought they were overweight. The poll, commissioned by weight loss company Weight Watchers, asked overweight people about their habits.

Women are more likely to think they weigh too much, but men are twice as likely to eat unhealthily or not care about what they eat.

Almost half of those surveyed say they eat healthily most of the time, although more than 80 per cent admitted they don't get enough exercise.

The poll also looked at the general happiness of the population regardless of weight and found Australians are a pretty contented bunch.
