Would you rather be skinny or healthy? Surprisingly, we both agreed we would rather be skinny than healthy and we know that we should say healthy. From this, we ask, what is skinny? Why do we think skinny is desirable and we realise that maybe we really should aim to be healthy because, being skinny can be very unhealthy. We talk about the risks of being skinny-fat, underweight and the importance of putting your health before your weight. We also brainstorm some ways to know if you are getting too light.
