    > However, exercise is the largest driving factor in health _not_ weight Citing a bunch of studies about obesity changes nothing about the fact that _exercise_ is more important to health outcomes than _weight_. Another source for you: https://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/27/1/83 https://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/27/1/83 > There was no significant trend across BMI categories for mortality after adjustment for fitness. Being skinny isn't being healthy, being _fit_ is being healthy.

      >Citing a bunch of studies about obesity changes nothing about the fact that _exercise_ is more important to health outcomes than _weight_. This is pretty funny. They directly address and contradict the point your trying to make. Even the source you posted contradicts what you are trying to argue. Nice try though
