If 74% o america is overweight, why does it matter what we weigh anymore?

Maybe next time, you should be more specific.

no one who is 110 pounds is overweight (unless they’re like 8) so they def dont need to lose weight, and it isnt an ideal weight, it’s ridiculous… Why do they feel the need to look like a pile of bones? because society has given us an ideal image of just that (and again I refer to the anorexic actors)

um first of all…I never said anyhting ab out obesity. I mean like a little overweight. mi qquestion is why does everybody need to have a perfect body in thi s world? I see people who are like 110 lbs and who want to lose 25 lbs. WHY? you are all right, obesity is a horrible thing, but I wasn asking about that.

The problem is that many people are so overweight that it’s become an epidemic. Obesity causes many health issues, and can be fatal.

It’s not about how people look, it’s about how people live. When people are dying or ill because they weigh too much, well, that’s not ignorance - it’s a problem.

I dont get it… are you saying that because something bad has become such an epidemic you should all just stop caring about it? if so, it cant be ignored, obesity does lead to a lot of health risks, that all lower your life expectancy if people all just stoped caring when something got a little out of control, were would that lead us, we wouldnt learn from our mistakes, we wouldnt try to fix it, we wouldnt try to find a cure, the world would just keep digging itself deeper into that hole people do need to care, its not just obesity that is a problem there are many other problems in the world toiday but we need to care about them, if people didnt care, wed all be digging ourselfs into a grave

ok, well there’s two different issues at hand here, why does it matter what you look like? because society has an ideal image of beauty which is becoming scarier by the minute (have you seen the anorexic actresses?) secondly, obesity can lead to a lot of complications… I wouldnt call it an illness (it doesnt directly kill you) but it can lead to a lot of health problems which could kill you

obesity is a disease

its a killer just like cancer and other illnesses
