If less than 10% of people have "normal" body fat in the study, is it really normal? Perhaps that should have been identified as healthy body fat.

  Most people are simply too fat and eat too much. Coming from Europe, it often baffles me what Americans consider "normal". Edit: not to say it also isn't a problem here/worldwide, it's been getting noticeably worse over time.

    If healthy is atypical and unexpected in a population, then it isn't normal. I'm pedantically suggesting that healthy is currently the abnormal condition (and one that clearly needs remediation).

  It's easier to change definition of "normal" than start working out, right?

    If you read the comment again, he advocates using "healthy" instead of "normal".

      Which is part I agree with, I said it's easier to convince population to change definition of "normal" and decrease standards, than make them do any kind of healthy stuff.
