I don't know why is this even a question. Do people really think being overweight is a net positive?

Basically, where you are within normal and slightly overweight bounds is mostly an aesthetic concern with slight lifespan advantage for slightly overweight people. When you move toward obese or into underweight category, health problems kick in.
