> There are many obese people who are extremely healthy I don't think that's true. However, some people can withstand bad diets. As an example, I had a morbidly obese uncle that ate copious quantities of bacon, white bread, and processed food, yet his blood work and lipid levels were always in the healthy range, which always surprised my family (my mother managed a clinical lab and did the bloodwork for my uncle). My uncle eventually passed away after he became crippled after a bathroom fall due to his weight. He became depressed and committed suicide (he was a physician and had access to morphine). Overweight is always a health risk, even if your bloodwork is ok.
