Most stay conservative though, not really a hopeful oitlook.

No she didn't.

There is no way to be this uninformed.

Okay i am assuming you are well meaning so i hope you have kept an open mind and are actually interested in "solutions". I am also well meaning but my frustration will come through in my comment. I am urging you to actually read up on the issue bc you have not .

There is no epidemic. Fat people don't need to be eradicated, be mindful about what you put out in the world, talking about fat people like THEY are a disease is incredible dehumanising. Other "unhealthy" habits we talk about are something you do not what you are.

Imagine we would treat everyone who isn't perfectly fit like we treat fat people, imagine people commenting on your body all of the time because you aren't jacked. We are accepting and even in favor of a level of virtriol towards fat people that would be unimaginable if done to any other kind of populace.

If you are worried for the health of people than go from there, what are the specifics you care about? Because i can guarante you thin people have all the same problems. I am thin as a stick but certainly unhealthy as fuck.

Here are some points for you to think about

1. The health sector isn't perfect, doctors can believe in myths. Just like black people and women don't get the pain medication they need fat people often don't get the care they need because doctors are solely focused on their health. If you listen to fat people they will tell you all about it. BMI is not a great tool since everyone is different and just having a higher BMI is not enough information to go on.
2. Fat peoples higher risks often don't go away when they lose weight. We need more studies here.
3. Stress is bad for your overall health. How stressful do you think it is when everyone and their mother makes your body their problem. Poor people are more often stressed too.
4. Lets be honest people don't care about fat peoples health, they care because they don't like seeing it. We are all unhealthier and unfitter than we could be but for everyone else it is " don't tell others what to do"
5. The constant talk about weight triggers eating disorders and make fat people gain even more weight this is a fact not an opinion.
6. Everything can become a healthrisk, boxers destroy their brain, basejumpers regulary fall to their death, bodybuilders take too many drugs. Its not an epidemic people will do people things.

There is so much more to it, one of my favorite health podcasts is "maintenance phase" give it a listen they talk alot about all kinds of health myths.

So just don't focus on weight focus on overall health and what people need to succeed and if people are still fat let them be fat. They can decide for themselves.

Thanks for this sane comment.

It isn't edge cases. The BMI tells you literally NOTHING about a persons health.

This is an objectivly terrible idea and does not work like at all.

People on ozempic loose around 7 % of their bodyweight and gain it back when they stop. Not a great solution to a non existent problem.

This is crazy where i live its 9 hours manditory rest of 45 min after 4,5 hours maximum of 56 per week maximum 90 per 2 weeks. And manditory rest of 11 hours between shifts, we are still well suplied there is zero need for 14 hour shifts 12 is already crazy.

how exactly is letting republicans win helping any of that? Your not really fighting anything here. There is a better chance to reform the democratic party while not having to fight republicans on basicly everything than we have under another trump term.

You are playing with lives either way.

Klar ist das schwach aber fährst du deshalb nicht mehr mit dem Zug?

Das ist einfach falsch die Wahrscheinlichkeit dass die Praktikanten sinnvolle Bilder zurück bringen geht gegen null.

Ich mags auch nicht, aber wirtschaftlich gesehen ist das schlichtweg nicht behämmert. Den meisten Menschen fällt es nicht auf und wenn ist es ihnen wurscht.
