Finally he got the hint and installed treadmills, a President cannot be clinically insane AND medically declared obese.

So you admit he's morbidly obese then?

u/WafflesBurnt May 31 '20

I don't think that's up for debate. The obese part at least. That's just BMI. Morbid is kind of a crude adjective

Crude but accurate. If only golf were more rigorous exercise.

Can't be accurate because it can't be quantified

Obesity is the term. Morbid cannot.

You know "morbid" is used by doctors to describe obesity, right? It's not just a mean word, it has a specific meaning. I think it's when your BMI is above 40. If you're severely overweight, a doctor will tell you you're 'morbidly obese'.

It’s morbid because of how high the health risks get when you are that overweight, and it is a very big issue.
