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.

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.

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.
