People can be fat yet fit, research suggests

Always thought that was the case :-)


I hope slowly we'll lose the "fat" stigma.

I'd approach this with caution.


"The key is being "metabolically fit", meaning no high blood pressure, cholesterol or raised blood sugar, and exercising, according to experts."


How many people who fit the clinical criteria for obesity can state with certainty that they are metabolically fit?

The mainstream media tends to be really really bad at reporting anything involving health and human nutrition.  I found one article from what looks to be a better source.


The actual research paper sits behind a $40 paywall.  :-/

Is losing the fat stigma in a society where morbid obesity is an increasing problem a wise change of direction?

No, it isn't.  But I don't reckon we live in a wise society.
