NEWSFLASH: Marriage Makes Men Fat
I find this "discovery" to be utterly shocking and incomprehensible. Who could have ever seen this coming?

WASHINGTON - Marriage keeps you healthy, even though it can make men fat, U.S. government researchers said on Wednesday.

Married people are less likely to smoke, drink heavily or be physically inactive, the report from the National Center for Health Statistics shows.

They are less likely than singles, divorcees or widowed adults to be in fair or poor health, and are less likely to suffer from headaches or serious psychological distress.

But the report finds that married men are more likely to be overweight or obese than other men. “Never-married adults were among the least likely to be overweight or obese,” the report reads.

4. This could just be the fact that never having been maried correlates with
being young, which in turn correlates with being in better shape than you are when you're older
