it's okay sometimes these type of discussions can get a little out of hand when people feel very passionate about their opinion/stance on an issue.
On my mother's side of the family most of her sisters are on the heavier side but no one is to the point where they are obese and only one has gotten diabetes type 2 being my mother.
Even though I'm considered overweight due to that stupid BMI scale that needs to be thrown out because it doesn't take into account body fat percentage I'm pretty healthy by the way I eat and that I make sure that I'm jogging every other morning and on the off days, I make sure that I keep myself busy as far as moving around going for a walk things like that.
My personal goal is to avoid getting diabetes type 2 because that's so easily prevented.
I'm healthier than someone that weighs less than me but drinks beer and smokes. I'd be able to outrun them in a heart beat.
