[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Why do people focus on weight rather than health?[/b] We've been told for so long that the BMI is indicative of something significant they lots of people believe it, and then when people express concern about the health problems of Americans, they focus on what is likely the wrong thing.

Studies show that weight loss is almost never maintained (yes, I know you did it, and how very awesome of you), but better health habits can be if they're detached from weight loss as a goal. So rather than talking about how to get people to lose weight, we should be talking about how to get better food to people, how to get people to be more active, how to make them better rested, and so on.

Maybe it would even make them lose weight.

Those of you who equate weight and health, why not focus on the activities you think will make people lose weight rather than focusing on the end result? [/quote]

Because not all of us are worshipers at the altar of so-called health. I like being thin and looking good and prefer that to being fat while eating a lot of salads and exercising every morning.[/quote]
