So if you’re fat (pardon me), if you have ‘excessive weight’... Then your risk of dying is greater. Hmm...

Well... Doh!!! on that.

Restating the obvious over and over again, doesn’t make it new. Fat people live shorter lives... One thing that you rarely see is overweight people in their 80s and 90s.

Yet there are headlines such as The Healthiest Weight Could Actually Be 'Overweight. A study spanning almost four decades and involving more than 100,000 adults in Denmark found that those with an 'overweight' body mass index (or BMI) were more likely to live longer than those in the 'healthy', 'underweight', and 'obese' - https://www.sciencealert.com/the-healthiest-weight-could-actually-be-overweight-huge-study-finds

Which is what the article here attacks.

It does go hand in hand with the promotion of Ozempic type drugs.

A big boost to Big Pharma too.

Although we all know obesity is unhealthy. But do we really know yet how safe the Big Pharma solution is?
