Again, the relationship between weight and health needn’t be monotonic, so “obesity is bad” doesn’t imply “emaciation is good”. (And while I agree that the “cultural weight standard” is unhealthily and unaesthetically thin throughout the developed world, the de facto weight standard (i.e. how much the average person actually weighs, regardless of how much they think they should weigh) is unhealthily and unaesthetically large in certain countries (ETA: especially among males). (The average US man weighs 86.6 kg (190.9 lb) and is 1.763 m (5 ft 9 1⁄2 in) tall, according to Wikipedia… WTF?))
