It’s called obesity and it’s a disease…one of the worst kind that leads to almost every health problem
When you tolerate everything . . . . then nothing is intolerable. There is no "Normal" only a sliding scale of .. .. everything. I'm fat . . .. I know it . . .and accept it. .. but I ain't trying to get others to follow my course Quite the opposite. Fat acceptance is not IMO too much different than Joe Camel selling cigarettes I am not as much an A-Hole as Maher is about it Mainly because he is a hypocrit and only supports "His vices" while sh!tting on everyone else's Rocket River
I think shaming people for being fat won't work. Most people I know who have rabid bouts of weight gain suffer from things like severe depression. But we definitely shouldn't glorify being fat. I don't like those type of "activists" who feel like they are entitled to a fashion magazine cover shoot when they are obese.
If being fat is a choice (it is) society generally shaming it will probably work. ******** on a particular individual that isn't your loved one (ie fat shaming) will probably be counter productive. Basically make them more fat and depressed.
Not related, but I enjoy watching this dude. Works out 5 times a week and has insane cheat meals. Here he is in Houston.
Nobody is suggesting we criticize people with medical conditions. In the 40s, 50s, and 60s, smoking was part of American culture, so much they got their children's generation addicted to nicotine. Despite the overwhelming evidence it was terrible for you and it is a gross habit, it took major government campaigns over a couple decades to get people to stop. Gen Z finds it repulsive. Eating decent really isn't that difficult despite the narratives out there. If we can waste billions on war, we can spend a few billion to ensure there are healthy options for the poorest.
I'll definitely pass on making a blanket statement like that. While we're the most obese out of all the western countries we aren't that far ahead of countries like New Zealand, Canada, and Australia. That doesn't make obesity any less of a problem for us, or those countries, but the real problem behind all (politicized) health care problems? Off the bat, shouldn't economy of scale mean we get the cheapest insulin rates?
