Question: Why is everyone obsessed with being overweight!?
I struggled for years with being underweight!. Which is as bad,i think, as being overweight!. But never seems to get the same publicity!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
you're dead right, being underweight can be as dangerous as being overweight!.
the media are insane!. look at britney spears, they complained she was underweight and then complained when she was overweight!. I think they are trying to bring more attention to the dangers atm though!. e!.g!. Jenifer Love Hewitt brought a lot of attention to it recently when they started calling her fat even though she was only a size 10 or something!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

In today's culture being thin is glamorised, its why so many people suffer from eating disorders!.
So people have linked being thin to looking good, this is why people that are underweight aren't really targeted so much as people who are overweight!.
The size 0 fiasco is proof in itself!.
Being overweight however is seldom seen as being glamorous or sexy, celebrities are criticised when they put on weight and in today's society more emphasis has been put on obesity problems which seem to plague children of today!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
