Humans are engines. Stop eating and you will lose weight. I didn’t make any claims about health. But you absolutely are and engine. The proof is that if you stop eating, you will die. Different fuels burn differently but you can’t defy the laws of physics.
Eugenics is the study of improving humans through breeding. You used the wrong word.
I’m not taking the word of one uneducated author over the overwhelming majority of trained doctors and scientists who all consider obesity to be a medical problem that needs to be treated.

what you’re doing here is mansplaining science by refusing to keep up to date on the recent research that’s only recently starting to make it acceptable in the scientific literature what’s been known all along by indigenous people and survivors of famine. that is that food scarcity doesn’t cause weight loss, it causes systemic retention of fat to survive life threatening scenarios.
in the epigenetics field as well it is well known that famine trauma propagates through generations, which is exemplified by Irish people tending towards larger sizes on average.
you’re also idolizing medics and the medical field by not acknowledging that they’re humans just like us and therefore not devoid of biases. the field is extremely white and man-centric, therefore refusing to accept any science that doesn’t benefit their class interests. eugenics is common practice in medicine nowadays, you can see it in the way fatness is criminalized and punished through violence by most doctors.

Bullshit.

Epigenetics isn’t eugenics. Like I said, you used the wrong word.
I carefully used the phrase “overwhelming majority”. Science progresses through consensus. The data shows obesity kills.

and the consensus used to be that race science is a great idea. great job in rebranding that in fat phobia!

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The data shows obesity kills.
Your claim that lack of food doesn’t cause weight loss is absolute bullshit of the flat earther variety.
