Slim People More Likely To Succeed
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter) JOHANNESBURG. Fat people are being found less frequently in world leadership circles, according to an article in the “South African Medical Journal.”
Insofar as management ability is concerned, “slim people are more likely to succeed in the rat race,” the article says. The article deals with obesity and proper diet "Obesity threatens health and life expectancy, and the cause of obesity is over-eat-ing,” it says. "There is no reason whasoever why a person at the age of 45, or even 65, should weigh more than at 25. “The image of the ideal business executive and industrial leader today is that of a well-built man, slightly on the slim side. “Fat people are being
found less and less in the leadership circles of the world. This attitude towards fat people is not just a question of fashion or mode. "Beware at all times of developing ‘gripes’, because a person full, of grumps, grouses and gripes about food is a never-ending ‘abomination in the eyes of the Lord’,” the article says.
