So obesity rates haven’t increased dramatically? If that’s your argument, I’m afraid you’re simply misinformed.

And no, there are plenty of videos of normal people that have nothing to do with “the fashions of the motion picture industry.” Millions of video clips are available right now online.

They’ve increased to “a very large minority, even in the fattest state”.

What used to be “fat” has not become “thin”, its just “fat" has become more common.

Yes, and they’ll show that overweight and obese people are greater proportions of the total. That I didn’t argue against.

The ridiculous hyperbole is what I took issue with.
