That's pretty much the plot of Fat by Rob Grant, which contains some very good information on obesity and various other food-related health myths: one of the facts that stuck with me is the obvious-in-hindsight observation that (even in first world countries) it is massively more dangerous for your health to be underweight than to be overweight.
And both are massively more dangerous than being fit.
Well, yes, by definition, since we're pretty much using underweight to mean 'having a weight low enough to damage your health' and overweight in a similar manner: I'm not sure what your comment is meant to add.
