right? I am definitely not in the camp of wanting to shame anybody or anything. It's more - what should we be striving for? Well, we should be striving for good health. And whether we like it or not, a lower BMI (which has historically been much easier to attain given our much healthier wholesome food options previously and much more active lifestyles)...is associated with more healthy outcomes overall. So if it's wanting to "look good" that ultimately motivates us to make the right choices, well then so be it. I think it's no accident on God's part that looking our best and feeling our best is ultimately obtained by avoiding things that are terrible for us (junk food, no exercise, smoking, excess alcohol, drugs, other high risk behaviors, etc.). You know? It just seems there's a reason there's such a high correlation there.
