By Golly, Be Jolly
I apologize for the post title, but sometimes that degree in poetry demands that I engage in some bad rhyming.
If you are going to adhere to one of the Fat Person Stereotypes, better be the Jolly Fat Person as opposed to the Bitter Fat Person. You burn an extra 4.4 pounds per year if you laugh for 15 minutes a day! No, not exactly an effective weight-loss method. But still mildly entertaining.
I have no idea how many calories you use during Bitter activities. I don't even know what those would be. Yelling at people? Glowering? Shooting a gun into the air?

This isn't really about this particular post, but I wanted to share this article which helps explain how to interpret medical findings. Lots and lots of controversy arises from misinterpretation or misrepresentation of data. The whole "how unhealthy is it to be overweight?" debate is a perfect example.

This article provides very useful tools for picking apart information to figure out what they're really saying, and if it's that important (or true) after all.
It's in the washington post, so I'm afraid you might need to sign in to read it, but it's well worth signing up!
well, it takes more muscles to frown than to smile...
