Nothing bad about being thin tbh. Men should strive for that as well. Obesity is unhealthy.

Agreed. There is nothing wrong about being thin.

No, thinness in and of itself isn't something to pursue other than for vanity. A person isn't made any healthier by magically becoming thin. I've seen that with my own eyes, knowing someone who has had bariatric surgery and lost 165 lbs.

And if someone is pursuing it out of vanity, significant weight loss will age your appearance considerably.

Being overweight is unhealthy. No amount of propaganda will change that.
