    Words cannot describe how much I despise the cult of Dr Now and how super obese people have to have their lives constantly speculated on and ridiculed before they get health care which doesn’t seem to have left the age of barbarism and petty cruelty.

      The idea that these people normally eating 3000-5000 Calories a day can just jump over to 1200 a day instantly and should they “cheat” or stumble while trying get yelled at on a man that holds the potential to save your life in his hands. If it wasn’t a giant circus they’d approach it reasonably stating that even 2500 a day would be enough for a significant loss which would allow for a less sudden and abrupt change, not to mention the fact that most aren’t really given proper mental health support for what is 1000% stemming from mental health issues.

        Like a compassionate society would find some safer alternative to maiming people’s organs or lifelong prescriptions to relatively recent drugs originally intended for diabetics only.

        I still think there is something to salvage from fat liberation. Obesity has evolved into this apocalyptic super object for which there is no sound solution or escape for half the population not long from now. There are people who are living hand to mouth out of food banks and still gain weight because of obesogenic nature of the available food and the chemical environment. Only true dignity is the first step to surviving it.
