Kiwitou:As long as you eat more calories than you burn it's possible. You should calculate how much calories your body needs per day as someone who is exercising often so you can guess how much calories you need to eat to still gain weight.
I think this link might help:
www.freedieting.com/calorie-calculatorYou just have to eat more than your maintenance daily calories intake.
Yes that!
Note though that being heavy is hard on the joints so you have to stay on top of your nutrition and have some weights days to improve your posture.
My ex played tennis well at about 245lbs but it required more effort than going the same at a lower weight. If you want it, work for it.

4 cancers have been linked to obesity more than smoking, and correlative not necessarily causal [this is not a multi varied analysis but rather just a general observance on larger health datasets. To play devil's advocate, obesity is correlative with poverty in the US and Europe which is also correlative to most cancers, but when studied being rich and obese does not have a recognisable effect on the likely hood of the same cancers occuring]
There are 10s of cancers linked to being underweight, the same to being an urban dweller etc.
This sort of journalism is ultimately trying to encourage healthy diet and moderate exercise through shock and scare headlines.
Personally I don't believe in the medium to long term this has a positive effect on society but it is attention grabbing.
If you want to be fat and live long and not be a hindrance to a public health care system, do it cautiously and keep up exercise and watch your salt and sugar intake and if you're susceptible: your cholesterol.

You can keep active, and simply eat a lot more carbs than you need and watch the alcohol, salt and saturated fat intakes.

Not all saturated fat is bad for your body.
true, hence only watch it

Slowly and carefully.
Gaining comes down consuming more than your body burns.
The systems in the body also have to be considered, like how prone to making cholesterol you are and how that affects your vascular system. Also you have to consider your joints.
Joints need support for all heavy people athletes and gainers alike. You also need to keep mobile and strong to support all that wonderful fat you're going to store. Add to this keeping flexible.
Being sedentary won't help your health bit will help you gain quicker so there has to be a trade off.
You can keep active, and simply eat a lot more carbs than you need and watch the alcohol, salt and saturated fat intakes.
Stay motivated as you will see results slower, just let the weight creep on, that way you can keep it on with less health risks.

Have to echo the general advice, use heavy (or double) cream in stuff rather than drink it.
My wife when she was still in to gaining would have it in her morning latte and evening cocoa and would top up each full fat milk with it in a 1:3 ratio cream to milk.
Again as previously mentioned: pasta sauces, vegetable soup (carrot and cilantro/ leek and potato/ tomato/ chowders).
Summer deserts like Eton mess or pavlova are easy to make and are just merangue, fresh fruit, sugar and whipped heavy cream.
Use the cream to add the calories to things, gaining should be enjoyable in a gastronomic way.

Italy, have some family there from my grandmother's side (on my dad's side) who she has forbidden us (me, my cousins, and her own children) from talking to until shes on her death bed. Why no idea, but apparently I have family in Tuscany that are aware of us to some extent, but are also apparently forbidden from contracting us.
Basically I just want to find out what the fuck is up with my grandma's side of the family, and why were apparently forbidden from talking to one another.
Tuscany is beautiful both inland and coastal. And as the area is fairly low on the mafia front I think your family secret is safe to investigate.

Depends on budget. To avoid dribbling I'd suggest getting a steam generator iron rather than a steam iron. We use a Bosch at the moment. If you have the money, a Laura Star!
