So this article was written by people who think a 50 BMI is perfectly healthy, normal, and that a 50 BMI person shouldn't be medically or socially encouraged to lose any weight whatsoever?

Are they trying to say that having a healthy diet and eating at a caloric deficit to lose weight isn't healthy or the only way to lose weight that's supported by evidence? I'm not saying the fad diets a lot of these vids are likely pushing are good, but to suggest that health can't be improved through improving your diet or losing weight is ridiculous. Whoever wrote this article must be very flexible with all this stretching.
