A healthy body needs fat. As long as you are healthy, you can have fat. The amount and thresholds can vary strongly from person to person.

I'd bet the comment was referring to obesity and not just a healthy amount of fat

Apparently you're right. I misunderstood it a bit.

hey just wanted to say - thanks for admitting you misunderstood something. such a rare sight on the internet

I agree, but if we look at the CDC: Percent of adults age 20 and older with overweight, including obesity: 72.4% (August 2021-August 2023)

72 point freakin' 4 percent.

With numbers like that, obesity is more like an epedemic and ozempic is a potential treatment.

Trü.

I guess I stumbled upon the wording "how awful being fat is on your body".

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

Then it should probably be rephrased to say how awful being obese is on your body.

Hey that's obese and overweight. Obese alone is only like half of everyone!
