Well put. I was having an argument with a friend about this few weeks ago. I didn't have the statistics though.
Funny enough the obese people who make this argument of fit and fat usually don't put in the effort to actually be fit, they use the argument for comfort.
Exceptionality is applied in a very narrow frame, but while we are all different, we are on average, much more similar, and across skillsets, much more average than we tend to believe ourselves to be.
We are much more similar than different, this is a truth we need to absorb. With every passing day, this reality becomes more and more evident. Our exceptionalism never makes up for other areas we are average or below average.
Yes. It is similar with all the people who talk about them being happy with themselves in their own skin, but derogatory against people who are thinner than them. I have a friend who is like this. Totally not happy with herself.
