This is about the overweight BMI category, not obese categories. It's also talking about how it's actually not associated with an increase in overall mortality, but rather the opposite. This observation has been around in literature for quite some time, predating the obesity crisis.

Haven't you heard? America bad.

You're suggesting that all fat people are bad?

No

Were you being hyperbolic, as a mild defensive response to a perceived slight against your country and the people in it, when the real problems are public education failure, health system failure, political corruption, and a food industry that intentionally gets your youth hooked on things like HFCS at an early age?

America is getting really fat. Reading the article reminded me of how fat this country is getting.

While I appreciate your concern for how fat America is, I'm struggling to see how this comment is helpful or leads to a productive discussion in any way 🤷‍♀️

Lots of discussion going on around my comment right now.

The discussion trying to process your extremely vague statement is not productive.

I think you're being a bit of a buzzkill.

We're not a space for low effort reddit/twitter style gotchas. Be better.

Reducing my feelings to a "gotcha". Yeah, I don't want to browse a community with Reddit style moderation either, thanks.

Reddit style moderation isn’t a conversation. It’s where someone deletes your comments and makes it so you’re the only one who can see them, or shadowbans you from the entire community.
