I'm obese?

Take a look at the guy on the right. He has a few extra pounds compared to his 20s and 30s. But he can still look down and see his feet.

Going by a simple body fat index calculation, he's obese.

Maybe "fat" and "overweight" are too judgmental. Or maybe they're not scientific-sounding enough.

But a national study of obesity state-by-state appears to use numbers that indicate I am obese.

Forgive me if I ignore that study.
