Please. Thats as ridiculous as talking about the health of smokers and someone saying "non-smokers don't have health problems?" As though it has any relevance at all to the point in question.
My uncle had a heart attack in his 40's living almost the same sedentiary overweight lifestyle I have been. Do skinny people have heart attacks? of course.. did his weight make him twice as likely to get one? yeah.
Whilst this is obviously a bad troll thread and I don't really think theres anything individually wrong with being overweight, I don't think it's healthy to kid yourself that the obesity epidemic isn't a problem for all citizens. It's not going to be good supporting those of us dying earlier and of course wiping productive years off the nation's economy and shortening the benefits of state investment in education resources etc especially with a rapidly greying population.
You can be overweight and still acknowledge that even if you don't individually really give a fuck...
