I visit family in other states and I get comments like “I can’t believe you are so thin.” For context I am a healthy weight and I eat what I consider a reasonable diet. I sit and smile while I watch them drink soda and eat pure sugar and salt. I don’t care about your life choices but don’t act surprised by someone that’s a normal weight.

    BMI is sketchy and at the boundary points doesn’t take build into account. Still, at large BMIs it does reflect a general fat burden.
