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.
What are you trying to even say with this comment?
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.
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?
Clearly it's a problematic thing, I haven't said anything to the contrary. I'm American, so my observation was domestic.
Bad faith is pulling the bullshit "America bad" card because you can't process criticism, when it points to something that seems endemic to the current state of your country.
Gonna stop the conversation here, this isn't going anywhere. In order to operate in good faith you need to be willing to put some thought and effort into your comments. A vague "America bad" statement as a criticism of your vague "America is fat" is completely justified. Back and forth bickering isn't going to help, please disengage.
America was founded on faith, so I can respect this.
