This article is garbage.
I sell group health insurance and I'm in the trecnhes so to speak and see what's happening in the real world so to speak. The people that are overweight by 25+ lbs or more have HBP, diabetes, acid reflux, sleep apnea at unbelieveable numbers and is growing out of control. 20 years ago on a group of 10 employees 2-3 had medical conditions. Today 8-9 out of the 10 have medical conditions and the majority of it comes down to weight issues.
I can't tell you how many clients who have lost considerable weight also lowered their HBP, got their diabetes, sleep apnea etc under control.
