Everyone's first observation: fat people are just fine with being fat. It does seem to be a matter of perception - people are measuring themselves against other people, rather than against a medical standard. I used to have BMI of 26 and no one was ever concerned about my weight. I got fit a few years ago, and I get more people expressing concern about my weight at a 20 BMI than I ever did when I was actually overweight. I've had to show charts to family members to prove that this is actually a healthy weight.

All paths lead to Moloch. You could do what the environmentalist Paul Kingsnorth did, and move to the west coast of Ireland, convert to Romanian Orthodoxy, and raise livestock.
