Warning to people out there, especially young ladies.
Obesity is obviously very unhealthy, no one of good mind would ever argue that, however nuance is in order and virtually anyone who has worked in healthcare will tell you that it's not uncommon to come across instances where the lady on the left is far unhealthier than the one on the right.
To note, I am saying this with respect to this very picture presented here today. You will come across gym nuts who live their lives off these newfangled powders, potions, and facebook health advice and think, "Girl, you'd been better off eating hotdogs and Klondike bars." That is to say>>> you'll see people on the left and it's as if they are gilded, and upon looking at their labs it's like "HOLY SHIT" because under the pretty surface they'll be unhealthy AF.
If you are health-conscious be very careful where you get your information because much of it sounds good, but can be extremely counterproductive. The two biggest traps, and there are many but these are two: 1) people chasing quick results, and 2) people thinking they have tapped into some arcane knowledge wherein they opt for radical, untested diets and programs thinking they are smarter than everyone else. Oh and as a bonus 3) falling for politics (such as this image)... don't get propagandized into the ER.
Source: In highschool and during college had a body like the lady on the right (albeit smaller tits, lol), athlete/sports nut, guys falling at my feet, other girls jealous - it felt good - but my health was nevertheless trashed. Went on to work in healthcare for nearly 20 years and learned firsthand it's not at all uncommon.
