Of course it is impossible to live a healthy lifestyle and have healthy weight, if you ignore the 3/5ths of Americans that are not obese and the 7/8th of the global population.
- Teever 2y agoAre the 3/5ths of Americans who are not obese actually living a healthy lifestyle? Or are they just living a different unhealthy lifestyle? Is a skinny homeless methhead with a great BMI healthy? Or the blue collar dude who has terrible blood pressure from chain smoking and pounding energy drinks on his way to the job site? How many Americans who are not obese are on their way to becoming obese? There are lots of paths to unhealthiness and overeating / eating poorly is only one of them
- valval 2y agoObesity and poor metabolic health is by far the greatest predictor of an early death.
- Teever 2y agoYes of course, but the point I'm making is that people who aren't obese aren't necessarily healthy. People aren't born obese. They get that way through mistreating their body for a long period of time, and it is quite possible for them to die before they become obese to other maladies related to that mistreatment.

- hackable_sand 2y agoTrue. I do not think I have not yet met a person who is completely healthy. Maybe in passing.
