Default Re: The American \"Obesity Epidemic?\"

Like I told Thremp on AIM, I honestly don't care whether being fat has anything to do with life expectancy. If you can't do very easy things for a non-fat barely active person - like say deadlift your bodyweight, do a pullup, jog a mile while carrying on a conversation, or just [censored] move a couch into an apartment without collapsing then you aren't healthy.

FWIW I always liked how crossfit defines "health" as a sliding scale from injured/fat/incapable to high performing athlete (however you choose to define it).
