Obesity is not realistic outside of the western world. Gale's chiselled abs is something that people should be encouraged to obtain for themselves.

In Japan it is a legal requirement for men to have a maximum waist size of 33", and women 35" (to account for post pregnancy stretching) to be eligible for free healthcare.
While Japan does have specific guidelines for waist sizes, they also celebrate sumo wrestlers who have a different body type. There's a broad spectrum between having chiseled abs and being obese. It's essential to understand that promoting one specific body type as the ultimate goal might not be suitable or realistic for everyone.
