[quote=Anonymous]OP, since you shared your age, I’ll share this much. I’m a little less than double your age. Cancer rates for my generation are far higher than for my parents’ generation at my age. We know the causes are many, but obesity is a risk factor for cancer and other health problems. Young people often ignore these risks, particularly since the advent of social media fat pride posts. I’m old enough to know what pressure to be unhealthily thin was like. Your parents are probably concerned about your health and are being intrusive about showing their concern. Even rude. But there is some wisdom in what they are saying. Every time I walk out of a routine doctor’s appointment, I’m handed a receipt with my next appointment and BMI on it. I’m in my early 40s. I think my doctor does this for all his patients. Even the pediatric ones. [/quote]
