      No being obese is not healthy. It is clearly associated with many health risks. I have no idea why you would infer that I would think it is healthy from what I have said. Obesity is clearly a problem. However, to solve it, I think we should look at the mechanisms behind it and try to understand it. So, that is what I am trying to do.

      Saying that something is “just fat people bullshit” is also not a good argument. Maybe we can leave the emotions and especially the anger out of it and just look at the research. You seem angry and I have no idea what I have done to you to make you angry. I just tried to discuss some research on this subject.

      Hey there. I’m a fat person, but I’m not healthy. In fact, I’m here at the Mayo Clinic because I haven’t eaten any solid food for the last 7 months and have lost 80 pounds since this started. I’m underweight now. I still look fat. I still have a big belly.

      Maybe it’s more complicated than you think.
