You're still wrong
This isn't about "acceptance"
It's about lying to people by saying they can be healthy and fat

I can't smell obesity from hundreds of yards away. Nobody shames the patch or the gum, because it doesn't foul the air everywhere it goes.
You live in FL
Be honest with yourself, i've smelled obesity in the South during the summer
From hundreds of yards away? Doubt.jpg. Also not a year-round problem.
I spend most of the summer huddled in my A/C trying to avoid the hordes of tards crowding the Jax Beaches. My primary annoyances are day drinkers on beach cruisers swerving all over the place, idiots driving, and idiots who see me fishing and decide to swim right in front of me - for every time I get 000'd surfing, I get 000'd by bathers while fishing 10-12x.
No, that’s not what it’s about. l’m not going to bother quoting from the site because obviously you don’t give a sh!t about what’s true.
I read it a couple times
Enablers like you are the problem
it’s all about fats not wanting to face the consequences for their actions
for example, a fat would want their knee pain looked at. Any good doctor will tell them the first way to solve it is losing weight. This flies in the face of HAES theory
That is one of their concerns, yes. I’m no doctor but I assume there could be many causes for knee pain and it would be a mistake to prejudge a person with such a symptom and not investigate.
I’m not being facetious
but I’m not one of the people that thinks shaming works
i do not believe in healthy at any size
i do not believe people who might look better if they lost a few pounds are all unhealthy
i do not believe that overemphasizing looks is a positive thing
but I do think people should be educated on what obesity does the ones body
make it about health, not looks
use education, not shame
Majoring in the minors. That stuff plays a role but that’s like saying you will make a dry bland cupcake better by adding sprinkles on top.
I see it with my neighbors across the street. Complains how overweight she is and that she can’t lose weight, but knows every restaurant in a 5 mile radius and I see her unload sodas, cookies and chips from car every time she comes home from the grocery store. And on of the daughters is following suit, as expected.
Genetics is your starting point for how far or slow your metabolism, but we all have the power to control intake and improve our metabolic health with exercise.
Fixed and noted that smoking makes you thin, alcohol makes you fat.
Diet and exercise. Some basic truths never change.
What exactly do you think I did?
My generation and cultural milieu is rife with guys who are no longer with us due to drug and alcohol addiction (cigarettes not so much...education programs???). The problem there is almost the opposite- no one shamed them, but rather they were egged on. It was like you were expected to "party." The shame was on those who "couldn't hold their alcohol." Lightweights! I feel lucky now that I was a lightweight.
Crappy food promotes, or rather feeds, microbes that are not mutually beneficial, lead to unhealthy gut permeability, etc.
New discoveries indicate that our bodies contain more microbial cells than human cells, so a bit more than sprinkles on a cupcake, metaphysically speaking.
Junk food is anything that anybody will naturally eat too much of it, to their detriment. It is eating for entertainment and requires big gut. Food is fuel and should not be too much fun.
Eat simple, non-engineered, non-enhanced, non-salted, non-sugared, non-processed foods.

Two caveats:
1. sin taxes are never the answer. Social engineering via government is gross
2. Fatty foods are fine if they are good fats. The focus on low fat is one of the reasons why we got here
Otherwise, I agree
For every pound gained there are something like 4 additional pounds of pressure on your knees. Hips, back, etc. Not to mention the cardio vascular damage. Obese people are just destroying themselves. It's pretty sad really.
