I'll post some sources about BMI tomorrow, however I direct you to this study which shows that it's not as simple as fat = bad https://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/02/health/study-suggests-lower-death-risk-for-the-overweight.html
Oh I agree that you can't say fat=bad I was referring more to higher levels of obesity, which as that NYtimes article says is a large risk. The issue with that NYtimes article though is that the study isn't really drawing a meaningful conclusion. Saying mortality rate is the end all be all is very misleading. I'm hoping that's just an issue with the pop science reporting of the times and not the actual study, because the link to the actual study is dead.
Ah yeah that's what I feared. It's similar to that study that was going around on reddit that claimed veganism is bad because vegans have a higher overall mortality rate but it also failed to take into account correlating factors. The amount of shitty science and shitty science reporting being done cannot be good for convincing the general public to trust the science of climage change.
