In regards to obesity.. I didn't realize high - weight and people of size were actual terms...

people of size is weird....but it's literal meaning, you can even call The Rock as 'people of size' since he's person (people) and he's 'bigger' in terms of size from average....so what gives?
if we are going to be scientific, why not 'people of high Adipocyte count'?

I thought it was generally seen as dated and inappropriate.
Haven't had a solid visceral, knee-jerk hate of a term like I just had with "Person of Size" in a good while... thanks.
That term seems like an Alt-Right joke about how SJWs have a politically correct term for everything.
For me, overweight is good generally.
Obese has a particular meaning medically, so that's good.
Fat is not cool unless someone is referring to themselves, or if they say they're cool with it.
Person of size is dumb.
High-weight... it's just new, so I can see that eventually taking over if people like it, but it feels no different than overweight.

Doesn't that imply muscle?
I think the terms fat, overweight and chubby are fine. They is what my kids call me!
Let's not get rid of the term obesity it has a meaning. People need to take weight seriously not hide it with pos terminology. The link between covid mortality and obesity is just the latest reminder.
