Well yeah…its kind of a given that “obesity” = unhealthy. But obesity is only the label. You have to really assess why someone is obese in the first place. I work with many ppl that are borderline hitting obesity bc they simply eat a lot but at the same time they’re unhealthy bc they’re diabetics or something else. Or they’re just overly buff. It’s really case specific on weight vs obesity

Yeah that’s not even close to true. Someone who’s “obese” can be unhealthy but Olympic athletes are considered obese and they are extremely healthy

You can be an obese Olympic athlete and still have heart problems, having that title of “Olympic athlete” doesn’t excuse you from having heart problems

I think you are misunderstanding what I am saying. Obese is simply a label we put on people. Someone can be healthier than a smaller/ skinny person and still be “obese.” It’s PURELY based on BMI which is an absolutely terrible measurement.

“Obesity is commonly defined as having too much body fat. A BMI of 30 or higher is the usual benchmark for obesity in adults. Obesity increases the risk of serious medical conditions. Treatments include changing what you eat, adding activity and mental health support.” I’m not saying people don’t genuinely struggle with weight because they do and it’s extremely prevalent in America as well. But someone can be visibly heavier and not be your definition of obese

1) Using AI to prove your point isn’t the win you think it is. And 2) “It is generally diagnosed in adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher. You literally proved my point in your own screenshot.

lol because I’m pointing out the flaws in your argument I must be obese? No I am just an informed person. For your information I’m like 138 pounds at 5’3. I was underweight all my life and now as an disabled adult I’m way less healthy then a lot of “obese” people I know

Sometimes being overweight can affect your health. And so can being too small. So can having no access to healthy food for a decent price. So can having no walkable cities. If you want to hate on people who are larger just say it, instead of hiding behind health as an excuse.

why? like what is the reason?? you being mean to them isn't gonna magically make them healthier... and if you're gonna be mean to obese people bc they are unhealthy then you also should be mean to those with who have cancer or asthma or the flu since they are also unhealthy.

i also want to add that like 99% of people who are obese are well aware its unhealthy. however losing weight and eating better is way easier said than done depending on the reason a person might be obese. it also doesn't happen overnight. ethan benard on tik tok started at 660lbs and lost over 220. that is an achievement.
