re: Canada Wants to Redefine Obesity

Oh, are we finally going to talk about using waist circumference and BF% to measure, or separating the BMI breakdowns by gender....
.....no, no we’re not. This is just a fatty that wants to redefine her weight as healthy so she and her herd can feel better about themselves

We’ve gotten too good at dealing with it unfortunately. Another time the prosperity of this country kind of fricks us over.

So I assume you are a cardio person and don’t lift heavy?

It’s amazing how as a world we shut down because COVID-19 is dangerous and we will ignore the millions of deaths a year caused by obesity and obesity related illnesses
COVID IS a major cause of deaths by obesity. Posted on 8/5/20 at 7:26 am to soccerfüt
40% of Americans are obese, and yet there is always this silly claim that the country is intolerant of fat people.
I'm sure that goes for Canada,too.
PUT THAT COOKIE DOWN!

Was this wrong?
Most morbidly obese people aren’t the way that they are because they simply like food. It’s usually an addiction, a coping mechanism, defense mechanism, or any combo therein.
It still boils down to personal responsibility though. It is no one else’s job to make sure you reach out for help if you have a problem.

Amazing in a time of Kung Flu where being fat is pretty much the top 1 or 2 causes of death we still have people spouting bullshite like this.

I've posted this before:
From Paul Carter:

"Most of the US is Obese. Most of the US isn’t even healthy. Obesity is in fact a chronic/pre existing condition.
We have at least 70 million obese Adult Americans. Obese patients are almost always sicker and harder to care for. Operating is harder - patient positioning, anatomy is not textbook at all etc. Taking care of an obese patient on a vent, everything I said x100. We have some potential nightmares ahead of us."
---------------------------------------------------
In case you missed that, it's from a doctor on my friends list, who is a urologist, but because of being short staffed, is being called to help with this pandemic.
I REALLY hope after this has cleared that...
- We stop promoting body positivity
- We stop promoting plus sized anything, because we all know you're not big boned
- We stop allowing people to say we're "fat shaming" when we talk about obesity
- We stop allowing social justice warriors to have a voice in this when it affects all of us in some way...LIKE RIGHT frickING NOW.
-We wake the frick up that obesity is a burden on the entire health care system
- We wake the frick up that it's connected to all of the pathologies that are killing people in Italy and that the world's leading expert on infectious disease says it will be one of the biggest factors in American deaths and Covid-19
- We wake up the frick up and change something, anything, EVERYTHING different than what we've been doing so that we aren't the fattest f'n nation in the world.
It's pathetic.
Body positivity has never f'n once...
- Lowered blood pressure
- Improved cholesterol
- Improved health markers
- Lowered chronic inflammation
- Cured diabetes
But...LOSING WEIGHT CAN AND HAS BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS.
If you're not going to be part of the solution, then stop being part of the problem.
And body positivity is part of the problem.
SJW's are part of the problem.
If this post hurt your feelings, or you are offended by it, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM.
Running away from this message, unfriending me, ignoring the fact that you "don't have poor health right now" is all a part of ignorant rationalization.
If you are overweight/obese, it has been PROVEN through longitudinal studies that you WILL have more health problems than those closer to ideal BMI.
You can get mad, but it doesn't change the facts.
It doesn't change the science.
It doesn't remove the problem that right now, this will get worse before it gets better because we're the fattest nation on the planet. And people need to stop tap dancing around it because you don't like the words "fat" and "obese".
I don't like the words "death" "mortality rate" "ICU" "pandemic".
If there was ever going to be something that would create a paradigm shift in this country, as far as fitness goes, if this doesn't do it...we're hopeless.

There are plenty of people that are fatter than they realize because the public’s image of what is fat or not continues to get worse as people get larger and larger. The dad bod used to mean a guy who was barely overweight and had some muscle mass. Now it’s borderline obese, if not obese, guys that are considered to have dad bods.
Mingo would’ve been all up in this thread

I have zero respect for fat people.

Too many people out there looking like Jabba the Hut

Fat shaming works. Everyone should fat shame themselves. I have lost 30lbs because of it.
