    who is considered “obese” is often determined by the BMI which is a flawed scale to determine health and wellness, you can read about it here: https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/why-you-shouldnt-rely-on-bmi-alone

    Absolutely there is such thing as unhealthily fat and weight being a detriment to your health, but there are 100% people who are, by modern beauty standards, “fat” and still very active and healthy by all measured metrics. Body types are different and some people will be more stocky than others, and I think that’s what the “fat acceptance” movement is really about
