Amazing...250lbs. vs 120lbs.

[Playinghardball]

These two pictures show body scans of two women approximately the same age and height. The one on the left weighs 113 kg (250 lbs), while the one on the right weighs 54 kg (120 lbs). Accumulated adipose tissue is not the only difference between the two; the obese woman has an enlarged heart and her lungs are somewhat restricted.

Found on the I fucking love science Facebook page

Notice the ball and socket hip joints on each. The obese woman's weight is forcing the ball downwards...

1. What else should I be noting?

I've seen this image a couple of times before without commentary, but I didn't see what the big deal was. So, other than the difference in the hip joint, heart, and lungs, what else should I get from this image?

2. It might be to tell men to love fat women

for their great, big hearts.

Other than that, it's just more fat shaming aimed at women, for their own good, of course.

3. male or female, fat is deadly

the amount of adipose tissues clogged around ALL organs is revealing how dangerous it is to be obese. It's isn't about 'shaming' it's about health...

4. We aren't told the ages of these subjects, or anything else.

So it's just some images.

5. Is there an age where optimal weight for a woman is 250 lbs?
