Surely no coincidence that being obese is a gateway to hyperconsumerism anyway. Sugary, fatty, processed snack foods are way more profitable than healthy meals.

Walking around town is free, can't have that. Sit at this computer chair, watch advertisements and play video games instead.

Heart disease at 26? That'll be $2k/month until you die.

Get depressed, buy the meds, never leave your couch, don't fight back, you're the evolution of humanity and - most of all - you are beautiful.

The meme isn't about that, I've read stories of some doctors refusing to perform surguries to overweight people, but other doctors doing the surgery anyway.

The same way a lot of women get told stuff is just from their period by doctors.

I am down 50+ pounds, and have another 20 to go. This is new to me, but I absolutely agree with everything you said.

Everyone is fat

Exactly, which points squarely at an environmental cause, not at individual sloth/gluttony or some shit like that.

The conclusion you're saying doctors arrive at—which I don't doubt you're correct about—is actually completely fucking backwards.

Look around your doctor’s waiting room. Everyone is fat.

Lots of people are old and age correlates with weight gain. But the volleyball player who blew out her ACL isn't fat. Neither is the chemo patient who is back for a final round.

How can those observations not color their general attitude?

Doctor: "Feels like everyone I see is either sick or injured"

Nurse: "Try spending less time in the ER"

It's important to notice that while an underlying medical issue is certainly likely in your situation, and that's hard to work against... There's no physical way you were actually ingesting 200 daily calories and didn't lose weight.

This is beyond biology, it's physical. You were either consuming way more than that, or you were actually losing weight and just didn't notice. There's no alternative.

200 calories every other day

Forgot to mention the 8000 calories on the alternating days but I’m sure that’s fine

I'm not rage baiting, its a shitpost, in the community for shitposts.

And all of that would be made worse if she was fat as well. Being fat is unhealthy. I was a medically obese child. 250lbs at 12. Losing 80lbs is one of the greatest changes I've ever made in my life, if not the best, for my daily quality of life.

There's a saying: "it's not your fault, but you are the only person who can solve it".

Only you can reduce your calories, only you can stop smoking and only you can quit alcohol. That's shitty that you have to, and in an ideal world it wouldn't be like this, but it is.

You're going to need a root canal, not because its the best procedure for the job, but because its more expensive.

People love to claim that doctors don't take fat patients seriously and complain when they tell them to loose weight.

In the Fediverse there are also some Nutjobs who will claim that being morbidly obese isn't unhealthy and that those doctors just don't have a clue if they think it is unhealthy

Isn't it well-known that doctors frequently dismiss health concerns with "have you tried losing weight?"

There is a fat acceptance movement that says you can’t control your wight, and also the only healthy way to eat is to eat whatever you want whenever you want, and if doctors want to weigh their patients or inform them of the health risks of being overweight or not do operations where excess fat would create complications, the only possible explanation for any of that is fatphobia.
