Why 'morbidly obesity' named so, while no 'morbidly skinny' term?

Why the 'morbidly obesity' named so, while no the 'morbidly skinny' term?I se this a kind of a "verbal conspiracy" against fat people. especially against fat women, who are really beautiful for me and other FAs. It is unfair at least.Do you think that "morbidly skinny" term should be introduced for unhealthy skinny people?

Being skinny is healthy unless an eating disorder and starvation are involved. Being fat is NEVER healthy.

You don't contract diabetes. Diabetes is genetic and type II diabetes can have complications that can be controlled by nutrition and medication. Eating less carbohydrates won't cure diabetes, but thinking it does can (unless there is no immediate alternative to a diet rich in carbohydrates) because diabetes is a disease that can be genetically altered by stress hormones.

White people are at a higher risk of developing skin cancer, too. Are you going to spread that little number around too? How about men's illness of lacking a womb to give birth?

Anorexia is not as simple as hating to be "fat" nor white, nor diabetic nor being a democrat nor being Jewish nor from being from Ohio. It is disorder which is subjective.

There is a name for "morbidly skinny" it's anorexia. I'm a chunkie girl myself, and I can't help but notice that bigger women can get their panties in a bunch over stuff like this, but big girls can say what ever they want about thin girls being tooth picks, sticks, and fish bones and if they say anything to defend themselves every one gangs up on them. Who gives a shit, honestly? Being fat is so common these days that any one trying to pull the fat/bullying card is like a black guy trying to pull the race card. Out dated and super transparent.

Do you realize that it's an industry? A person makes money, spends money to be "healthy" or "sexy" or "acceptable" and then starts the process all over again. Nobody should forced to explain themselves because of their nature.

You have won the war on thin people (I get called skinny b!tch, lots). Give it a rest will you. Fat people rule, happy now?

There is no war on skinny people. There is a worldwide conspiracy between "beauty industry", official medicine, and glamour media industry. As result, even really "healthy skinny" or "well balanced healthy" people see self as ugly ones just because media and "friends" say this. According media, it is not possible to be "enough skinny".
