Baby Got Back? Doctors Approve!

By A. Scott Walton
Eureka! Finally there's scientific proof that there's a tremendous (read: healthy) upside to having a bodacious backside!
According to a report issued by BlackDoctor.org, British researchers at the University of Oxford recently reached the conclusion that "fat in the butt and thighs of women may help them live longer".
In layman's terms: junk in the trunk stores the healthy sort of fatty acids women need to help avoid diseases of the heart and other organs. As Sir Mix-A-Lot put it so sagely: "You can do side bends or sit-ups, but please don't lose that butt"
Scientists now believe that it's belly fat that can cause women the most long-term harm.
As a cautionary note, the study's lead researcher Konstantinos Manolopoulos echoed a caution most often attributed to America's First Lady Michelle Obama lately: Everything's best enjoyed in moderation.
Said Manolopoulos: ‘Control of body weight is still the best way to stay healthy, and the advice remains the same: it is important to eat less and exercise more.’
In an odd way, the Oxford study validates the ploy for attention that V magazine waged with its February issue devoted to "Size" (left) and the undeniable beauty of bigger women.
The question remains: Will the fashion world sit up (to the dining table) and take notice?
