Comment on doctors

Look. Shitty doctors exist, but when 1/3 of the US is overweight, there are underlying issues that need addressing. I only hear horror stories when an addict, alcoholic, or overweight individual in my life is feeling insecure or defensive about a prognosis. Too many people deflect and it’s enabling a much larger issues. Our basic instincts are being exploited.

I have some horror stories about being a normal weight woman seeking medical care. What’s that about then?

I know, I’m not arguing for obesity, that would be stupid.

America’s obesity epidemic is a function of our car culture. This is the only country on God’s green Earth that feels putting in sidewalks is a moral failure.

  Obesity is a food issue, our reliance on cars and increasingly sedentary lifestyle may exacerbate the issue but it’s not the cause

    You can’t really know it. I suspect it’s a combination of the two. If you drive everywhere and sit around the rest of the time, you can’t be healthy no matter your diet.

    Obesity is a product of excess caloric intake NOT sedentary lifestyle.
    
    Lack of cardiovascular and kinesthetic health is a product of a sedentary lifestyle.
