The overweight and obesity epidemic is generally not about people who could lose 10-20lbs. These people are technically overweight but it is considered at the warning level of the weight index. I'm sure everyone has already seen the "underweight, normal range, overweight, obese" line graph/table before.

I'm talking about 50+ lbs overweight because that's what's generally considered obese and morbidly obese; and that can also include 20+lbs overweight. That's what the overweight and obesity epidemic is generally about because a large percentage of the population has far surpassed the warning level of 10-20lbs. The kids in this show are definitely over 20lbs overweight and are probably 50+lbs overweight.

So, if everyone agrees on overweight and unhealthy when it pertains to people who could lose more than 10-20 lbs, that's cool.
