How is the author overweight eating what he eats, and walking around outside. That makes no sense.

Is the author overweight? Over weight for what? For living a life of hard manual labor? Well in his 70s and still mobile and able to run a farm seems like he's doing fine. Besides ... he may have gained weight after his stroke; used to eating a farmer's meal but not moving about much.

Besides ... you've heard of studies that have shown that the calorie expenditure of hunter-gatherers, walking around all day, is about the same as couch potato Americans sitting around all day... here's the link: https://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2013/06/13/191036200/what-...

Reading about what he eats, I am not sure why you would expect him to be thin.

Both his food and shape are pretty much the normal shape for people living in villages doing small farming.

He says he has biscuits at the end of every meal - he doesn't say how many!

He looks similar in size to plenty of Welsh farmers that I know. I suspect that eating a tin of beans every day isn't the best.

My thoughts exactly. He gets plenty of fresh air and exercise, and his meals don't sound too unhealthy, but he's had 2 strokes?

Could be genetics I suppose?

Glad he's found happiness though.
