Don’t get so hung up on precise numbers. We all know Americans are obese and that greatly adds to healthcare costs.

I can’t imagine any downside of trying to prioritize lowering obesity.

"Don't get so hung up on precise numbers", uh, 90% isn't just imprecise, it's so catastrophically wrong that it undermines your entire argument
This is a topic that’s always going to have wildly different numbers. Who cares? It doesn’t change what we all know to be true. Nothing has been undermined whatsoever
What we all know to be true is your troll status.
Do you know the right number by any chance?
Thank god we aren't discussing your imagination, then.
