Obesity, health, doctors, and poverty

What’s wrong with this? Nothing. But, she looks like end game Aretha at 34.

Do you mean that’s why the doctor called it out? It’s bad for you, for objective health reasons.

Again, I’m not a medical expert, but she doesn’t look end game to me.

To be fair, I just watched one of her music videos and she doesn’t look that bad.

Jerry Garcia looked good on stage too. Offstage, not so much.

It was his choice just as it is her choice.

As is the choice to judge. Not pre-judge, mind you, just judge.

On a side note, I work with a good half dozen morbidly obese black women. Their knees are shot, and they need momentum to get out of their chairs, so they rarely sit. When and if Lizzo gets to 50, we’ll see how body affirming she is.

You beat me to the punch before I changed the tense.

I don’t judge,.but I do mock. It’s possibly something I need to work on.

I try not to mock because I know them. They’re good people. But they also don’t go around telling people that their weight is their choice. That said, no one is rude enough to ask. That is the celebrity aspect of being Lizzo. I’ve never heard her sing, so I only know her as the fat rapper chick. That said, with best regards to Leonard Cohen, I don’t think of her that often.

I like a little junk in the trunk, but not an entire dump truck.

Well yeah isn’t that why they weigh you every time you go to the doctor?

I don’t understand. Yes, that’s why, so?

I see an article from Australia. If you’re just googling for wokeness I’m sure you’ll see it everywhere.

So doctors should and do tell you if you’re overweight or obese. There is no woke mob censoring doctors and if you believe that then that’s another problem.

Uhhh what? Maybe I wasn’t clear. You said:

I’m asking, are you saying the doctor didn’t need to or shouldn’t have called it out? It kind of reads that way.

No I’m saying the doctor did and should do that. That’s their job. BiggusDickus implied that wokeness has gotten so out of hand that doctors can’t say obese. And I called BS.

Got it, thanks.

Do you think any of us do this?

I wouldn’t have said it if I didn’t think any of us do it. Whether that is googling “doctors can’t say obese”, feeding Facebook algorithms by clicking articles, watching YouTube videos, following Twitter feeds. If you’re not living in the West then your only perception is the internet. I’ve already demonstrated doctors aren’t shying away from talking about obesity because…woke.

You’ve not demonstrated anything.
