Fighting the cold weather with food

Blankets and snuggling, we may be old, but body heat times two really helps. 😉
I cooked a pot of Red. That's "chili" for you Yankees and west coast yankees.
What you doing to fight off the cold?
Maybe, we don't have as much insulation on us as you corn fed midwesterners do.
I’m married to a furnace so that keeps me warm. I would be happy if it never got below 80.
Actually, the skinnier you are the colder you are. Fat people can handle the cold better so if southern people were more fat, which they probably are in general, they would actually be better prepared to handle the cold.
I think it's cold if it's under like 70 though, but I weigh like 148 pounds. I'm golfing Wednesday since schools are closed here now and it will be in the 50s and I'll probably be wearing base layers and a pullover.

South Florida
Chili looks good though.
Listen Bill Nye it was a joke but since you brought it up. Fat people's core temp is more consistent and shielded, this prevents the body from its usual measures of warming the body up leaving the skin to be colder than normal and them feeling colder. You're just cold cause you're a pussy and live in the south.
I had to use that pic because it was too cold for the camera to function.
I'm cold because I'm not fat. I have no issues admitting that makes me a big wuss when it comes to cold weather though. Fat people don't get cold as easily. Their body naturally wants to shed pounds and burn it off. Why? Because they are fat. They have more adipose tissue. Skinny people have the opposite problem. Their body wants to hold onto any sort of insulation they have and they lack the type of tissue that keeps them warm. At least that's what I remember from teaching science about that sort of stuff years ago.
