I'm not trying to start a war here but when I read posts from women complaining about their weight someone comes up with the comment "I'd rather be my weight than some unhealthy, thin person". The assumption being that thin is unhealthy.

Yes, some do smoke, have eating disorders or have some other illnesses that contribute to their thinness but one source I read says that 70% of thin people are naturally thin. If this is the case, I wonder why thin is considered unhealthy?

Doesn't lifestyle and genes contribute to good health as much as body size?
