      Nothing bad about being thin tbh.

      Agreed. There is nothing wrong about being thin.

      Men should strive for that as well. Obesity is unhealthy.

      No, thinness in and of itself isn’t something to pursue other than for vanity. A person isn’t made any healthier by magically becoming thin. I’ve seen that with my own eyes, knowing someone who has had bariatric surgery and lost 165 lbs.

      And if someone is pursuing it out of vanity, significant weight loss will age your appearance considerably.

        Thinner does not equate health, one can not be truly healthy while obese. It is Terrible for your body. Pretty much every organ system is working overtime and struggling. There is inflammation everywhere, your joints are suffering.

        The healthy at any size stuff is a massive lie.

        Yes, skinny people and regular sized people get sick too. Just like people who don’t smoke can still get lung cancer.
