not to get in a finger pointing contest, but telling people it’s okay to be obese is a bigger problem people being self-conscious of their weight.
Fat shaming saves lives. Not being a fat-enabler

it’s not “obesity” that damages people. It’s fearmongering about their bodies that puts them at risk for diabetes, heart disease, discrimination, bullying, eating disorders, sedentariness, lifelong discomfort in their bodies, and even early death.
That's just science.
Of course a tiny man and a fat woman would push that BS.

I mean, I get what they are trying to say is that bullying can send some people into a cycle of self loathing.
That is still a separate thing from obesity kills.

Lol. A fat dietician. She must suck at her job.
And the other one focuses on dietary issues "through the lens of social justice".... wtf
And to address their absurd claims: actually, being a lardass leads DIRECTLY to diabetes, heart disease, osteoarthritis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and decreased life expectancy among many other medical issues. It quite literally increases morbidity and mortality across the board.
Saying "don't stigmatize them, its ok for them to be fat and it won't hurt them" is dangerous and flies in the face of over a century of medical science that proves obesity is fricking horrible for patient health and should be addressed.
Tl,dr: these two dykes are quacks and cannot be taken seriously

Sound like a science denier. It's really sad when something as objective as science has become politicized.

It's both funny and sad that you can get paid for this kind of work.

I'd bet my life savings the fat author wouldn't date an obese man.
I would have included the other author but....

So when these fatasses die, will the coroners report say "vilified" as cause of death?
Posted on 7/10/19 at 3:19 pm to tiggerthetooth
Yeah, you make think stuffing your face with butter and sugar is hurting your health, but its actually the people telling you not to do this which is giving you your Diabetes.
"I was taught how a proper diet is supposed to work before my inner SJW came out and turned me into a fricking retard"
Blows my mind how why the scientific community doesn't call these people out more often. They're the equivalent of anti-vaxxers.
You want to be proud and happy about your obesity, fine. Its your body. But this "healthy at every size" bullshite is absolutely asinine and is actually pretty damaging.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of their points have merit, but they're going to lose a lot of people by focusing this as a social justice crusade and saying that being fat doesn't cause bad health.
Check out this gem:
Of course it's not the individual's fault and they can do nothing to help themselves...it's the system's fault! Society did this to me!
And the following sentence is nearly as good:
Less than 25% tells me it is nearly 25% of the difference. So, making life changes can cause a 25% improvement in health outcomes.
Funny that they don't mention "significant differences" when dancing around the science as well. Even if the p-values aren't significant, a 25% change in something is a big deal.

Hard to believe there are a few posters on this very board that completely agree with that line of thinking and will vote that way.

While health behavior change is valuable, to truly improve public health, we can work harder to create an inclusive society where everyone feels valued and has the opportunity to create a good life for themselves. Combating fat-phobia needs to be part of that agenda.
This could be an Onion parody.
