He's kidna right. Fatness isn't a disease. It's just the cause of so many diseases. I mean if you have a disease which goes away when you lose weight then fatness was the cause, not the actual disease itself.
Like it or not, obesity is actually classified as a disease by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Obesity yes. Fatness no. And there's actually papers out there that say being mildly overweight might actually be good for you. It's still a hotly contested thing but there is solid evidence that it might have some benefits.
Was it Socrates who said something like ‘those who are a little fat about the belly do best in all kinds of illness’ ? In his time being well fed would mean more resources to fight illness.
Yeah but some still disagree as seen by the downvotes on my post.
It's about the only work he's been able to get in a while.
Of course it is which is why it's necessary to stipulate where the fat is and what kind it is.
Exactly. It’s not good to be underweight either. Nobody healthy should be worrying about a slightly fat bum. Just be healthy as you can and don’t do extremes (although of everyone took that advice this website wouldn’t exist..)
I don't disagree with your general point, but 20 - 25 lbs is not always "'slightly' overweight." The average height for US women is 5'4". (Many of the women in this thread seem to be around this height.) The heaviest a woman at that height can be to remain in the "normal" BMI category is 145 lbs. At 20 - 25 lbs heavier, they are literally right on the borderline of obesity (BMI 28.3 and 29.2 respectively).
And the BMI is a flawed measurement anyway. Get a guy like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and his BMI is off the charts. But you can't tell me that he's obese.
I dunno, a bit of fat seems to already be worked into the rather ample range of normal BMI.
They aren't as entitled as some obese personalities can be. They're just like "ok here's what we did, here's who fit into this, here's who didn't" and they aren't inconveniencing people purposefully with the idea that everyone should cater to them. Of course it grosses me out when they eat a ton of food, or make bad choices. But I can appreciate that they share information for other fat people and are willing to ask the questions and find answers without making it a victimhood thing.
Conditioning this grooming that mind you that Indomie has a whole program dedicated to getting Nigerian kids addicted to instant deep fried noodles, including yearly school events, a fanclub, and a cartoon about superheroes that convinces you indomie is very healthy for sure please believe us.
