Reverse epidemiology is a term for a medical hypothesis which holds that obesity and high cholesterol may, counterintuitively, be protective and associated with greater survival in certain groups of people, such as very elderly individuals or those with certain chronic diseases. It further postulates that normal to low body mass index or normal values of cholesterol may be detrimental and associated with higher mortality in asymptomatic people. The terminology was first proposed by Kamyar Kalantar-Zadeh in the journal Kidney International in 2003 and in the Journal of American College of Physicians in 2004. It is a contradiction to prevailing concepts of prevention of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease; however, active prophylactic treatment of heart disease in otherwise healthy, asymptomatic people is and has been controversial in the medical community for several years.

From Google News Search: "obesity paradox" Which do you think American society has become tolerant towards: Teen pregnancy or obesity? Q. All of these things are not preferred. They are discouraged. But our tolerance for it as a society has obviously increases. This isn't the type of thing where you can go one by one and judge people. It is something you should look at society as a whole.
