Yes. There are plenty of unhealthy "skinny" people. They don't exercise any more than overweight people, they simply starve themselves to stay thin. In doing such they also deprive their bodies of the necessary nutrients to be healthy.
Eating iceberg lettuce and saltines two meals a day with a chicken salad for dinner is a great way to get scurvy.
The problem in America, based on the numbers, is that we have a lot of people who eat too much of the wrong kind of food items and a society that has learned to accept it. Those that are far more worldly than I should know the rest of the world isn't nearly as bad.
Something is wrong when I go into a store and can't find trousers in 32x34 because the racks for men are loaded with 36x32 and 38x32.
