Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness [from shathah; intoxicaion]! (Ecclesiastes 10:17)
A day late I suppose
Risk of death reaches 100% eventually even among the not so obese. That said being obese puts a lot of things in life in the difficult category.

Hurry and buy more Ozempic or you will die!
Why this morning with this post of an old article, d?
Mighta posted it a couple of days ago, but now....
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.
My attitude is you either pay now that small annoyance "fee" for having to exercise and watch calories consistently ... or pay later in your declining years with obesity and all the obesity-related diseases, possible infirmity/immobility, pain, depression, feeling lousy from being unfit and fat, all of it ... and that bill will be substantially higher than the first one.
The risk of death for all people is 100%. Everything before that is a combination of personal choice and what food producers put in the food.
Excess weight, obesity more deadly than previously believed.
It still won’t phase out the stoners.
“at 5 feet 7 inches and an extremely muscular 201 pounds at one point”
Tom Cruise has never been “an extremely muscular 201 pounds”.
Note to author: If you want people to take you seriously, drop the BS.
“ While previous research estimated 2 to 3% of U.S. adult deaths were due to high BMI, his study pegs the toll at eight times that.”
Grok told me recently that SNAP welfare cases are 40% obese compared to 30% for the self sufficient.
So if 2% x “eight times” = 16% of deaths are “due to high BMI”, that means about half of obese people (16% / 30%) die of being fat!
I worked with a 500+ pound man in the 2000s. He died in his early 40s.
Me! Me! Listen to me! I need a grant!
