Michael Jordan would have qualified as overweight/obese for example. The BMI chart uses raw numbers as they relate to height and weight
Jordan was listed as 6ft 6 inches and had a playing weight of 215. That puts his BMI at 24.8. That is the upper end of normal but definitely not "overweight/obese". NIH BMI calculator .

It’s amazing how conditioned people are now to not know what overweight is
It’s crazy. Someone who is slim and perfectly within the normal healthy weight range would be considered “too skinny” by today’s standards. Meanwhile there’s plenty of 5’10 240 people out there who think they’re just “big boned” or some shite and healthy enough

People think fat acceptance is Lizzo or the fat girl in the Gatorade commercial. But THIS is the real fat acceptance.
Yup and that’s one of the biggest problems. This even extends to many people who are not overweight or obese themselves but are so used to seeing fat people everywhere they don’t automatically recognize just how fat society is
