In addition to longevity, there's a quality of life and a vanity issue here as well. If you are 20 pounds overweight, you are carrying two bowling balls with you wherever you go. That doesn't sound fun to me.
People who are 100 pounds overweight are carrying 10 bowling balls -- I'm tired at the end of the day -- how do they feel?
I guess the vanity issue isn't important to most, because they've gotten used to the new normal. I assume this is true when I see overweight women wearing tight, clinging outfits that allow their muffin tops to escape.
Personally, I don't care about living longer, but I want to feel good (and look OK) while I'm still alive.
