Everybody with more than 10% body fat is considered fat which is not the case. There are plenty of studies showing a more normal weight is healthier than these starvation diets people are on. Women are told to look like they just walked out of Auschwitz and are having all sorts of health problems resulting from starvation. Be very skeptical of anything you are told from science. Much of it has an agenda as does this.

I'm not referring to people with 10%-15-20% body fat or skinny people but obese people. The average American today is not at normal weight.

Anorexic girls? Sure they are out there..I never said they were not.

I just spoke with a Physical Therapist this morning at the gym. Been in the business for 25+ years. Years ago most of her work was workplace injuries or accidents. Today it's mostly hip/knee and back joint problems related directly to obesity.

Are they all related to obesity or are many of them over exercise related. Jogging is the worst thing you can do to your joints followed closely by fast walking and golf.

People make generalized statements about one thing and they may have different reasons altogether. What we need to define is what is obese, what is or what the gummit says is. The gummit charts say everyone is basically obese which of course drives up the injuries if everyone is and nobody isn’t.

I am too cynical to be a liberal.
