Damage control might be a smart way to improve health.

  The data doesn't say it is. Sure you can improve on other axes, but weight is a leading indicator of mortality. I wish you were right, it'd be great to be able to be obese and healthy, but that just isn't how it is.

    That's not what damage control is. I am not claiming that there is a way to be fat and absolutely healthy. I am saying that there are ways to be healthier while being fat. That is damage control, like the ones applied to drug addiction. And that is proved to be a good decision in some cases.

      > And that is proved to be a good decision in some cases. No it hasn't, because it doesn't exist as you describe. It exists as I've described. Everything you can do, while obese, you can also do while not-obese.
