Metabolic syndrome is the modern plague affecting the world, causing lower quality of life, and worse health outcomes for many people. Almost everybody has a loved one who is suffering from metabolic syndrome. If we can improve their quality of life, it is a net positive for humanity

Just being overweight doesn't = lower quality of life. You're assuming weigh more = worse life

Why so negative?

Weight by itself does not guarantee worth quality of life, but is highly correlated with it.
