Obesity

I read a story in the paper the other day stating "A child who is obese at age 13 has an 80% chance of being overweight at age 35."

My first thought is "So, what's wrong with that?" It seems to me that being overweigh is an improvement over being obese.

Obese at 13.

Overweight at 35.

Who knows? By the time he hits 50 this kid could be thin as a rail.
