Yeah, I think a proper metric could be useful for an input (but not a diagnostic, alone). Speed the day when they come up with something that's actually scientifically valid.
Too right with other risky behaviours that aren't stigmatised in the same way. I should probably change my fulminations into one against unfettered capitalism, because of course the common trend there is what makes money. Booze consumption makes money. The diet industry makes probably just as much money. There's no profit in saying that probably the majority of people are fine with respect to weight and health. Eh.
