"Encouraging diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attacks, etc., for 40% of the population in order to protect the 2% of the population with a body dysmorphia issue?"

Ace of Spades takes up the issue of weight loss.

One thing about this mass hysteria about weight loss: People are always warning people not to lose weight based upon the conditions of anorexia, bulemia, and body dysmorphia (seeing your body as very heavy when it's actually low weight) which afflict a very, very small segment of the population.

And for those people, it is important to tell them "Stop losing weight. You're already underweight."

But 98% of people who think they're overweight, like myself, think that because we are in fact objectively, demonstrably, mathematically overweight.

And yet we're peddling a message which applies to 2% of the population towards the 40% of the population which is overweight or obese, and telling them "Don't lose weight! You'll DIE!!!!"

That's also very unhealthy, isn't it? Encouraging diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attacks, etc., for 40% of the population in order to protect the 2% of the population with a body dysmorphia issue?
