Wasn’t there a poster here that mentioned this (regarding covid) a few times?

Were 575K COVID hospitalizations preventable simply through diet and exercise? TWO THIRDS of people hospitalized for COVID were obese or had diabetes, high blood pressure or heart failure, study finds

MAGA is fat. Shocker.

Thats the Joe Rogan line of thought.

It's not necessarily wrong, it's just self-centered and not a very realistic solution to what was an immediate problem. We have a pandemic thats killed +500k americans in roughly a years time. That's pretty significant. It's not really a shocker that the age and health or comorbidities of these individuals played a role. There's obviously no harm in suggesting that people get in better shape. Thats a good thing any way you slice it. What its NOT however is a solution to a fast moving pandemic. Obesity, hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, etc have been plaguing this country for generations now and continuing to get worse. You can't just tell all these people to drop 50lbs as a solution to a pandemic and expect any meaningful results in the short term. Sure it may make our society stronger for the next pandemic, but this one is already here. It's too late to expect us to get in shape for it.

And for those like Joe Rogan, and many posters here that are already in good shape. Congratulations, you're not high risk. But that doesn't mean that your fat pig of a wife isn't. Or your fat mother, etc. So try for one second to not be so self-centered. Just cause you may very well be fine if you get it, other people in your circle may be not.

It’s been a year.

On average over the last year America got fatter.

This is why we can't let dangerous ideas like HAES exist

Much higher chances of developing diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, bad knees, and not living well into her 80s. Other than that, healthy as can be.

My friend was in ICU for 21 days with the covid.

He's morbidly obese, picture 5'10" and wearing a 5XL type of fatness.

He's fine now and has done nothing to improve his condition after almost dying.

Just goes to show, some people don't like to inconvenienced with diet or exercise.

You sure about that?


You got a brain, you know just as well as everyone else being fat and out of shape isn't as healthy as being fit and not fat. Surprised you fall for the marketing of Cosmo and would use it to try to prove yourself wrong. What other things do you disagree with that you use to try and prove your self right?

I respect you for being able to be friends with a fat person.

I can't do it.
