Suicide Prevention

[Aractus]

According to the WHO I'm obese at 92kgs and about 165cm.

That would be correct. You can still be physically fit - and in doing so reduce some of the problems and risks associated with being overweight, but you're still at increased risk of health problems, just like smokers are.

You think every smoker can recognize the onset of cancer 10 years in advance? Using the argument "I'm not worried, it isn't affecting me" is totally ridiculous. It's like breathing in arsenic powder and claiming you're going to keep doing it until you actually see your health impacted from it! There are 0 benefits to being overweight, and a whole sweeping set of problems that it brings, why risk something as important as your health?

It's really naive to treat obesity like a simple choice. I'm not saying it's genetic but by far your average fat person didn't wake up one day and decide to be overweight.

And did smokers wake up one day and decide they're going to be addicted to nicotine?
