Was a real life Beerman.....
And the anecdotal evidence from my wife that about 80% of the patients in intensive care are there from complications of weight/smoking/addiction.
In the casual observations of your wife being a IC nurse, what is her job title?
The reason I ask this is that while there are problems that involve weight, smoking and addiction, in my years on this earth every person I have ever know to have ever be in an IC unit have not fallen into one of the above three categories.
Given the wrong observation even a 5'5" 135 pound 16 year old girl or a 5'7" 165 pound boy can be labeled as obese.
