I just don't think I'm overweight. I also don't think my mom or my aunt are overweight, but they obsess about losing weight (and seem disappointed that I haven't give them the mystical Chinese secret for being thin; I don't think they realize the mystical Chinese secret for being thin is malnutrition). Which makes me suspect the idea that we all need to lose weight has become the conclusion of things like the NHBLI guidelines (not that they said that, but that's what we as a society has decided such things mean) and that has had an overall detrimental affect on our health rather than a positive effect.

In conclusion, nutrition is hard, let's go shopping.
