    Overweight can mean “over the weight that is healthy for this individual”.

      Literally my point. You can’t know what that is from looking at a person. So when you say that about someone who you don’t know you are comparing them to some subjective predefined weight.

      We’re also talking about children here. Carrying puppy fat doesn’t mean they’re unhealthy.

      My friend at school was always chubby but he was an incredibly fit rugby player.
