Fats' definition of "health" is such a low bar, though. For example,
"My blood tests all came back normal! See, I'm healthy!" (translation: The doctors have been unable to find a single thing other than my obesity that's causing my chronic exhaustion and pain.)
"I'm active. I get exercise! I'm healthy!" (translation: I walked from the parking lot into the building 50 feet away with just minimal shortness of breath.)
"I'm so healthy! I never get sick!" (translation: My immune system hasn't totally crapped out even at the advanced ham age of 24 years.)
"I'm healthy!" (translation: I don't require a portable oxygen tank to breathe.)
"I'm healthy!" (translation: The insulin shots I'm supposed to take everyday are optional. In theory, I could control my sugar levels with diet alone, but I refuse to do that.)
"I'm healthy!" (translation: I currently have both feet, though that may not be the case in the near future.)

At some point I think they get tired of saying the same thing and being ignored. If you have already burned 9 fingers I would not tell you the stove is hot the 10th time. .

According to the fats, there are some. At least they're always claiming that their doctors say they're healthy...
