Everyone's Obese

I just think "obese" is the most ridiculous term. According to these classifications, I know a lot of people who are obese, and I would never associate their lifestyles with the horribly unhealthy ones conjured by that term. This collection of photos makes that argument very clearly. When I think of someone that's obese, I do not picture the women who were labeled that way in this collection.
