The worrying thing about this is the shift in perception.

Most people are going to put Todd at "a bit over weight", but not "near
obese". Add a few kilos to Todd to tip him into obesity, and most people are
not going to see much difference.

Give people a Todd image of BMI > 35, with no physical activity, and still
most people aren't going to call that Todd obese. And if it's a woman the
discussion suddenly becomes polarised with accusations of "fat shaming" and
"healthism" and "nanny state" and "causing eating disorders". Very obese women
are called "curvy" or "voluptuous". Any attempt to discuss the health effects
of over weight are dismissed as a fascistic attempt to control other people.

There are so many _weird_ ideas around obesity - "it's not sugar, it's high
fructose corn syrup! We weren't overweight until HFCS!". Maybe HFCS is worse
than regular sugar, but we also didn't use to drink 64 fluid ounces of 10%
sugar syrup.
