In my opinion, instead of building larger machines, maybe medical experts should be working more on getting people to lose weight.

Unfortunately, the medical profession doesn't do enough to help people lose weight. In fact, it's better for the medical industry if people are overweight
Um... what do you want them to do? I guarantee you every doctor tells fat people they're fat. Do you want them to lock them in a room and force them to exercise?

I think that almost pushes this thread into tilted paranoia... Unless you're a radiologist I don't think you have the understanding to be able to say that "Larger MRI=Dead Normal people" As much as you can choose not to trust the government and the FDA I don't actually believe that they would put out a machine that did not work for the general population in addition to the overweight population.
You dont have to be a radiologist. MRI's work by using powerful magnets. With sensors they can determine the differences in magnetism in various forms of tissues.

Magnetic power is directly affected by distance. By extending the distance the power, and thus the clearity of the picture, is lowered. Lower quality of a picture leads to increased problems.
