Not at all. The science is very clear and has been for quite some time - being overweight is bad for your health and increases all cause mortality.
I could link meta analyses about how strong the link between increased weight and CVD is as one example, but I don't think you're really looking to change your mind.
Instead I'll just make it as simple as possible. Increased weight = increased metabolic demand = more stress on the heart and other organs.

You could not say that you could do something if you don't plan to do it, and you could avoid blaming the person you're arguing with for your failure to produce evidence that supports your point instead. Try making it complicated.
- RubyRidgeRandy 4y agoyour advice makes your own comment pretty ironic, don't you think? but no. I really don't have to provide evidence that the sun is hot, that Washington D.C. is the capital of the United States, or that being fat is bad for you. I understand HN is for a technical audience, but in the nutritional and health field, this is an accepted fact.
