It's a myth in the sense that most people don't understand what it is. It's not some magical entity that controls whether you get fat or not, and it's not something that is "set" at birth that is completely out of your control. It can be raised, a lot, by good exercise habits, or even just moving around a lot.


 
Pinkie does both. The constant jumping is both intense cardio and intense strength training. On a daily basis. All day, every day. You can't out-exercise a bad diet, but you **can** out-exercise a mediocre one. If Pinkie eats plenty of actual food instead of just candy and pastries and soda, then she can avoid chubbing out, but she'll never be cut like a marble statue unless she stops with all the sugar.

A person with a "high metabolism" will generally not be able to sit still. The fact that they are constantly moving is *both the cause and the effect* of their high metabolism. Sound familiar? The reason Pinkie is so hyper *is because she's hyper.* Moving a lot makes her eat more *and* make better use of that food, which makes her continue to move a lot.

Also, the constant jumping is both intense cardio and intense strength training. She's healthy. Except for the concussions, that is...
