My brother died yesterday from complications of morbid obesity.
I currently weigh at the top end of the "overweight" category on the Bullsh1t Measurement Idiocy charts, but I wear a size small-medium shirt. I have been morbidly obese, according to those charts, and I underwent surgery to fix it.
If I were to get to the "healthy" range according to those charts, I would be distinctly unhealthy.
But my brother still died because he couldn't stop overeating.
