I'm still a skinny zombiephile (although my spare tire grows daily) - but as a smoker, I have absolutely terrible cardio - putting me in the worst possible position of being skinny and shoulderless (and therefore ill-suited for flinging women over my shoulder) AND unable to run farther than a quarter mile without throwing up. I think the REAL transgressor here is Zombieland! After all, the narrator DID imply a direct connection between so-called "fatties" and a lack of cardio in the very beginning of the movie, when in fact, as we've seen, plus-size gentlemen (and ladies) can be perfectly capable of running farther and faster than skinny ones. Just adding my two moans to the mix. OK, I’m going to weigh in on this one.

Cardio pertains to the heart and oxygen movement in your body - the ability to run distance, the measure of your endurance. Sure, you can lean against a door when you're a fatty, or push an unprepared, skinnier person over when they aren't expecting it - but you can't actually run, not for real. Hippos can sprint at great speed over short spans...but the tax of toting all that bulk around overwhelms their ability to supply oxygen to those tubby-sheathed muscles. This pertains to people, too. Getting away from the initial point of z-impact might require a good hustle, but the rest is a marathon. Toting ladies around is a question of frame - short, unshouldered types couldnt do this if they were 150lbs or 300lbs - I can tote ladies around whether I am skinny or fat because of how I am built, it's a separate argument. What I am trying to say is, if you're interested in surviving the zombie apocalypse, get to the gym - which has the added bonus of no longer requiring the theft of attractive ladies in panic situations.
