Starting from facts

Is there any longer a dispute that people are born with a natural weight and that they will, all else being equal, remain within a range of that weight?

Is it surprising that many people who could be classified as overweight - the topic is not, presumably, morbid obesity - prove to be healthy by usual measures?

I suggest that the individualizing of medicine you praise in other contexts is approrpiate on this issue as well. Put another way, of two people with the same size and BMI, one may be healthy and the other not.
