Looks can be deceiving because you can look at someone and they look somewhat thin and they look really healthy but they're a diabetic or they have kidney failure etc but you do not know it because they do not look like have anything wrong with them

Answer:

An example of why looks can be deceiving is:

Thin people can have malnutrition or alimentary disorders related to poor weight that is worse than overweight disorders.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, even though looks and appearance are evident factors of the condition people might have. We shouldn't make assumptions based only on one side, because this creates a bias and false assumptions. We know that weight can be misleading because a perception could consider that thin people are healthier than people with a little bit of overweight. Nevertheless, extremely thin people might have more factors that could impact their life and health in a negative way than people with more weight. Or oppositely, we could consider that overweight could be a healthy facto while it is a yellow alarm to take care to prevent severe damage to the blood system.
