There is a problem with older people who are thin and become ill. They have no reserves, and can lose the battle. I am quite safe from that, I could weather devastating illness and not starve to death. I wouldn't say that being significantly overweight is good, but I do think that the obsession to be very thin, to get rid of all fat, is not a very good idea, and makes people look sick even if they aren't. I see a lot of people on television who look like they could benefit from a good meal.
