Quote:
What qualifies someone as obese?

If your BMI is 25.0 to <30, it falls within the overweight range. If your BMI is 30.0 or higher, it falls within the obesity range.


There's nothing inherently insulting or racist about the fact of obesity. But I agree there's usually probably no good reason to tell someone they are obese, if you're not a concerned friend, family, or doctor.

I looked it up because it seemed made up. As it turns out, not made up but old

No, the shot is actually called "whoa there, fatty"

Diet and regular exercise are the cornerstones of a healthy, happy life. Those are behaviors set in childhood. We have decades of data showing that, plus we can take a four second glance at any country outside of the US/UK/Canada and see it plain as day. That pediatricians would advocate for drugs and surgery as an alternative make no senses unless they are not engaged in advocacy but in marketing.

I think while Bi_3 makes a valid point, some folks are genetically predisposed to gain weight no matter how often they exercise or "eat right."

I've also heard many times you can "make your own genetics" through health-conscious habits. Who knows...

I mean, there has to be something about non-US countries whose population walks more and gets outside more.

It's pretty clear that kids didn't suddenly and magically start being predisposed to being fat, but in fact the conditions they find themselves in have changed, be it social, material, etc.

The real question is: if conditions have changed, and they can't be changed back, what should we do? Obviously, healthy habits and appeals to better parenting are failing against the onslaught of modernity.

Possible solution: burn down your local McDonald's.

no, many of the same kids (minus those who are disabled but able to live through birth due to medical advancements) always were

no... do you think i am?

If a person is unable to exercise (or control their diet), it would be stupid to demand they do these things of their own volition
