[quote=Anonymous]Excess weight is a health concern, especially if the weight is on the abdomen. It won't necessarily kill you, but it does raise the risk. If you had two identical people-- apart from one being overweight and the other a healthy weight-- the overweight one would have more health risks. That said, we are a mostly overweight nation and even so, the average person here outlives a slender person in, say, Somalia. Personally, I would rather my risk distribution be spent elsewhere than an extra bowl of ice cream so I stay slender. But if having extra weight is where you choose to accept risk, that's fine. But let's not pretend it's not a risk. [/quote]
