Nutritionists are not trying to say that every fat person will end up with health issues. They are trying to say that extra fat contributes to health issues. I mean, fatique is a symptom for diabetes, but it doesn’t mean every fatigued person has it.

Peoples perspective on what is overweight have changed over time. What was once obese is now not obese. Plus, obese and fat are a tiny bit different. What mean by this is that fat refers to all overweight people shile obese refers to being extremely overweight. It its just like how red and pink are the same except pink is a very bright red.

[…] I thought of Stearns’ book when I came across a delightful collection of photographs of exotic dancers taken in 1890, the year he pinpoints as the beginning of the shift to thinness. From a contemporary perspective, they would likely be judged as “too fat,” but their plumpness was exactly what made these dancers so desirable at the time. http://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2012/03/07/exotic-dancers-in-1890-and-the-plump-body-ideal/ […]

Its a matter of physics. More petite women and those with less weight tend to be more acrobatic in bed. But I am always suspicious of ideals. I find more plump body types attractive as well as more slender. It takes extremes of thin and fat to veer into unattractiveness for me.

[…] First, let me show you these graphs which suggest what the average BMIs are around the world. Then let’s add in that in some cultures being fat is seen as attractive. And let’s add in how beauty is often defined by wealthy white standards, creating unrealistic expectations for, well, everyone else. Finally, how about the fact that as we culturally began to freak out about fat … we got fatter? How did that work? Anyway, it seems pretty clear that “personal preference” is related more to cultural norms than to some biological urge. And this manifests in how we date, how we’re received, and how people treat our partners. It even manifests in our attraction to other fat people. This is a cultural construct. And it’s not even a consistent one here — look at these exotic dancers! […]

Yeah but that’s also a pretty obvious strawman. The original comment sited weights well within bounds of reason. Yet a 180 pound women will face similar stigma as someone who’s 380 pounds by people claiming to be concerned about their health.
