AYRT

But if you were to find someone who fits that description, they're almost certainly obese, which is the point I was making.

True enough. Personally, I've reached the point where all of the public handwringing, moral panic, and concern trolling about the "obesity epidemic" have made me angry about the very terms "overweight" and "obese." As long as they're in use, I figure the best I can do to counter the toxic public messages relating to health and body size is to proclaim whenever the topic comes up, "This is also what obesity looks like."

Which isn't at all intended as criticism of you for not doing the same! But the person you were responding to seemed genuinely confused about these definitions (for good reason; they're stupid definitions), and I thought it worthwhile to complicate the discussion a little with an alternate viewpoint.
