Is Obesity a Very Serious Problem?
I don't mean to sound patronizing, but all the stuff you said about it not being so necessary to losing weight and to live a long life are the types of anecdotal comments you hear from people when they don't want to deal with taking responsibility to tackle chronic health issues. I used to know a woman who smoked heavily and unfortunately she died not too long ago from emphysema, but she always used to compare herself to people much older than her who smoked a lot too and would say that they are still alive so the risks of smoking can't be that serious. Denial. There is also that old joke about you go to the doctor and he tells you that you have six months to live and then you pay him $1000 and he gives you another six months. But more back on point, being overweight is always unhealthy. It puts unnecessary strain on the internal organs, particularly the heart, it often increases fat around your liver and kidneys, and it greatly increases the risk of heart attack and stroke. It also can cause inflammation of the arteries, which high isn't good, and it can lead to joint problems. Also, if you already have type two diabetes, and you're overweight, the chances of you eventually needing insulin injections and possibly developing other symptoms related to diabetes like blindness increases, considerably. So just because your doctor doesn't tell you to lose weight when you're overweight doesn't mean that it's a OK thing. You can lose weight. Very many people do. It's definitely not an impossibility. I also have a friend in Thailand who started taking some of those new weight loss drugs recently, it's not that expensive, and he's losing weight rapidly. He's also somebody that's been overweight for most of his life. And now that he's in his late 50s, it's really good that he's dropping weight. And it's coming off at healthy level of about 1 kg a week. It wouldn't be a bad idea to take this situation a bit more seriously. Having diabetes puts you in a much higher mortality risk category if you're overweight. -

The Unheeded Warnings: How Mass Immigration Is Reshaping Europe
One sentence in the article below riled me:- "These figures reveal a stark shift: only 10% of the arrivals are EU nationals, while the majority come from countries like India, Nigeria, Pakistan, China, and Zimbabwe. Contrary to optimistic assumptions, most of these migrants are unlikely to contribute more in taxes than they take in public services, exacerbating pressures on housing, healthcare, and other resources. " The clubbing of educated Indians with the other sorry bunch of losers is completely unjustified. In most Western countries wherever they are present, Indians are among the most highly educated, and usually in the highest earning immigrant group. -

Mike Waltz Warns Hostage-Takers: “Bullet in Your Damn Forehead”
I don't believe in simplistic imaginary explanations. Israel and Hamas have antagonistic position and the negotiation process is complex. The U.S. or other countries can influence it but only to some extent, as the recent halt of negotiations confirmed. And it's a process. -

Is Obesity a Very Serious Problem?
You are right, the OP did state "overweight and obese". If the obesity rate is 36% in America, it makes me wonder what the combined data would be. The two attributes are measured by BMI. It can be somewhat misleading. Elite midfielders in Australian Rules football would fail the BMI test, due to their high muscle mass. So would gorillas.
