Look. Shitty doctors exist, but when 1/3 of the US is overweight, there are underlying issues that need addressing. I only hear horror stories when an addict, alcoholic, or overweight individual in my life is feeling insecure or defensive about a prognosis. Too many people deflect and it's enabling a much larger issues. Our basic instincts are being exploited.
I know, I'm not arguing for obesity, that would be stupid.
Well someone’s gonna have to
Yes. They're in the meme.
I have some horror stories about being a normal weight woman seeking medical care. What's that about then?
Different issues have different causes.
I don't know, the medical community ignoring fat people's health concerns (beyond obesity) and ignoring women's health concerns, seem to be the same issue and I posit they are the same cause too (hubris, arrogance, and just simply not living up to their oath)
America's obesity epidemic is a function of our car culture. This is the only country on God's green Earth that feels putting in sidewalks is a moral failure.
Obesity is a food issue, our reliance on cars and increasingly sedentary lifestyle may exacerbate the issue but it’s not the cause
You can't really know it. I suspect it's a combination of the two. If you drive everywhere and sit around the rest of the time, you can't be healthy no matter your diet.
Obesity is a product of excess caloric intake NOT sedentary lifestyle.
Lack of cardiovascular and kinesthetic health is a product of a sedentary lifestyle.
It is once again, incredibly simplistic view of a very complicated issue, so simplistic it stops being accurate.
Unless you’ve magically discovered the source of energy and mass from nothing, and revolutionized our understanding of the natural world … no, it isn’t.
You would be surprised, but human biology is slightly more complicated than a furnace that you throw coal into.
Having been so school and studied physiology I can firmly say no, I don’t think I will be
Well yeah, because you made up your mind and not listening to anything capable of changing it.
It's obvious that this is not the most important underlying cause, as other countries which are less auto oriented are also quite fat.
This is unbelievably untrue statement
