The linked article specifically talked about a case where the woman's doctor told her there are genetic reasons for her obesity.
Also, there is a limit to where losing weight is an unquestionably good idea. I certainly have enough excess body fat that no one wants to see my bare chest. That said, I'm not clinically speaking overweight, and I have very low blood pressure, and I'm fairly active. I certainly would benefit from cardio (as would most people) but focusing on fat rather misses the point, which is primarily keeping arteries clean and your heart strong. This is actually quite possible for an obese person.
