    Unfortunately the health-at-any-size people took that and made it to mean fat means healthy, and that couldn’t be fatter from the truth.

      Would you tell a woman that her large breasts wouldn’t cause back issues and not to get a breast reduction?

      Why would you think the same things don’t impact your knees and joints? Nobody is less than for being overweight, but talk to anyone who once was overweight / obese (im one) and they will tell you that going up stairs without being in pain / winded is definitely a signal of healthier living.

        Apart from the extremely rare fringe weirdo people are not saying being fat is strictly healthier than not.

          Yeah I definitely misread the post and took it from a point of they were already making that claim. I have no relevant experience or claim in that case.
