Yes, you're right. This is same everywhere.
But I think people would change them once there's enough and correct education on health and fitness. I think after COVID people have started to put stress on educating themselves more on fitness. 

American doctors would need the AMA or their pharma rep to tell them to. They're good little lap dogs and will obediently do as they're told.

Correct. I missed that to tie it here. Obesity isn't a disease and doctors prescribing medicine only on the basis of it need to stop. 

This study clearly indicates that BMI isn't and shouldn't be the only measure for obesity. Let's hope the doctors would follow it.

New obesity definition sidelines BMI to focus on health

To tie into a previous ~HealthAndFitness post, this would move obesity more towards being a disease, since it would rely on biological markers of disfunction.

I hadn't really thought much about it, but doctors probably shouldn't be prescribing medical treatments to people based on their weight alone. There ought to be some actual symptoms of disease.
