Re: Sorry for getting all unfunnybusiness...
Oh, for sure. I don't mean to say that being fat is necessarily unhealthy, I don't think it is and I think most of the correlations found are likely because fat people also tend to be people who diet/have dieted a lot, just that people often tend to get judgmental over being fat or eating unhealthy, while forgiving other habits that are more likely to lead to health problems, but also don't involve just existing (for fat people) or eating (since you have to eat, regardless). Whereas drinking a lot is completely normalized, especially for younger people, but can lead to alcoholism, liver problems, etc.

I just wanted to avoid an argument of, "But being fat is so unhealthy!" by watering down my disapproval.
