I would say the moderately obese person who eats healthy food and exercises often. Obviously obesity isn't healthy, but putting nutritious and good quality food into your body and getting plenty of exercise is vital to your body's health, and is so much better for you than being sedentary and filling your body with garbage. I've come to learn that thin =/= healthy, as I've met thin people who sit all day and eat nothing but crappy processed foods, and they have no energy, feel like crap all the time, and have difficulty performing simple tasks. I even know one who was pre-diabetic as a teen. When I was overweight, I could still out-work some of my thinner friends who were very sedentary and ate nothing but processed foods, and it was very concerning how little activity wore them out with how young we all were. I think living an unhealthy lifestyle typically eventually catches up with people too, no matter how thin they stay or how long they get away with it while they're younger.
Obviously, it's ideal to be at a healthy weight while eating a nutritious and balanced diet and getting plenty of exercise, but a poor lifestyle in general is unhealthy.
I started only eating meals I've prepared, mostly as a way to save money. I started eating much healthier and doing cardio at the gym a few times a week. I only lost about 10 pounds but people usually think I look like I've lost 25 because I burned some fat but mainly was building muscle beneath the fat, which kept me almost the same weight. I don't think I look that great, but damn I just FEEL better--more energy, not having to maneuver around my own body, and I don't have that gross post-fast food greasy feeling when you eat out a lot
I began eating cardiovascular foods and taking nootropics and fish oil capsules, these are quality I suppose and don't cost the earth, but the oil showing inside so many of the capsules is disgusting, it's like viscous greasy fluid in my mouth.

I don't think you're supposed to pop them in your mouth
That's great! I'm the same way, I always feel better eating right and exercising vs. eating like crap and being sedentary!
