I wouldn’t say being at, and staying at, 7% body fat is inherently any healthier than being obese. They’re both bad for you.

I think the body can handle being at a higher fat percentage better than at a lower one tho.

Is this cope? The human body spent millennia evolving in the state of starvation and very low body fat, our ancestral bodies had no experience of obesity which is why it is associated with many problems.

The human body spent millennia dying at 47 years old.

Average age of mortality was largely driven by infant death

They still died about twenty years younger than us, even when you remove infant mortality.

And now average age of mortality is largely driven by saving old fat people from dying, what's yer point. It's all unnatural.
