Making it your business to call out people who are unhealthily overweight is counter productive. People know they’re heavy, people know it takes a toll on their health. Lambasting them will only exacerbate their depression and make their relationship with food far more destructive. Don’t be a dickhead.
Generally, I’d say that’s true. But given multiple people have told I’m underweight when I was borderline obese (and I don’t do any weight lifting or do manual labor as a job) does make me question how many people know they’re overweight. Obese people generally know they’re overweight.
The solution isn’t calling out individuals about their weight though or collectively shaming people for being overweight. If you want people do have better diets and exercise more, changing the environment to be more conducive for that will do much more. But making sure healthyweight and overweight people aren’t pressured into eating more by people who insist they are underweight is probably a good thing.
how about if you actually crack a science textbook you’ll learn that body fat matters a lot less than whether or not someone is physically active and that losing weight isn’t as simple as just dieting and exercise and that giving an entire generation of people eating disorders put more strain on the healthcare system than obesity ever did
Metabolic health is inversely proportional to fat.
Probably more like flipped the following over the horizontal: \__ ノ
Also, relevance? That has nothing to do with the claim the person you claimed was wrong said nor anything I said. But sure. I’m the one who can’t read.
how about we as a society just collectively stop making comments about people’s weight at all
How about we don’t, because being fat is unhealthy and also costs a lot of money to public healthcare and infrastructure.

Exactly. We’ve got to treat the root cause of what’s going on, and that’s often an extremely complex challenge that varies from person to person.

Looks like you need a science book.
If exercise and dieting didn’t work you’d be breaking the first law of thermodynamics.
It would be an absolute guarantee Nobel prize and you’d change the world.
Diet more so them dieting. What you eat is very important.
Breaking out thermodynamics as an excuse to be a prick online doesn’t make you seem cool.

So far matters less than fitness, like the person you are replying to stated?
Fuck you can’t read huh. Metabolic health is inversely proportional to fat.
