Being slightly overweight is associated with longer lifespan. Really look it up, the longest lifespan is slightly overweight and top of normal bmi. Lifespan gets down when you move toward obese, somewhere in the middle of overweight segment.

The worst life expectations are in underweight category.

It's hard to take seriously the aversion especially Americans seem to have against overweight and obesity

Funny the land of the free is so incredibly intolerant on this one point
