They both mean "too fat".

And if you check your BMI, you're probably "too fat" as well.

BMI is a scam, essentially anyone who isn't an emaciated vegan or starving under communism, you're "obese"

Corn fed, meat and potatoes eatin average americans are the most perfectly healthy population of "obese" people in history.

It's partly because of insurance companies... and partly so the doctors who sell that intestine mutilation surgery can charge it to the government for everyone on free healthcare.

Why do you think those "bariatric surgery" commercials all started popping up when obamacare got crammed down our throats (with the help of sellout cuck fuck judge roberts).

seriously... check your BMI, you'll be shocked just how "obese" you are considered by the current medical establishment.

BMI is totally invalid for a male if you have even a normal-sized frame and do enough weight lifting to have decent muscle mass. When I was at my fittest peak, believe it or not, at age 50, I weighed 195 lbs at 6'1 with a 33 inch waist. Now about 10 years later, I weigh 183 with a 35 inch waste. I'm no longer overweight according to BMI but BMI said I was overweight by a significant amount previously. I wasn't able to get health discounts and it affected my life insurance policy rate.

exactly...

it just proves once again that one-size-fits-all policies from the government just fuck everything up worse.
