I can’t tell you how much I love these videos (there is a sequel to it if you go to the you tube page). But I must say, I just really love what she is saying. It’s true. I was actually reading something the other day that was talking about how BMI calculations (which tells you if you are underweight, overweight, normal, obese, or morbidly obese) were created in the 1800’s!!!!! And, it didn’t take into account muscle mass either. So someone, who is pretty ripped, might be considered overweight because of the weight of their muscles (which weighs more than fat). I don’t know, I am not trying to say that it isn’t a problem, because it is. But I feel like Americans generally talk about things that they know nothing about (like obesity). I remember when I was in 7th grade and these two girls told me that their doctor told them that they were obese, and I looked at them like they had three heads. I mean now they would be considered overweight, yes, but back then I though they looked just fine the way they were.

I don’t know, I mean I know the health risks of “obesity” but— someone who is underweight (and can’t help it) has the same health risks. And- I think there is a difference between someone who is engaged in a healthy lifestyle (regardless of if they are overweight or not) and someone who is NOT engaged in a healthy lifestyle.

That’s just my un-educated two sense anyway.
