"What's even more scary is that the children and young adult rates are increasing even higher.
"We are not really talking about this; we're not really addressing people anymore, especially healthcare professionals who, I think, should be the first line to talk to people about the impact of excess weight on their health. "I think they are very scared to address this issue, especially now in the view of this new trend of body positivity"."We are saying that we are worried to make mental health issues for people who are not accepting their size," she said."It's wonderful that we are becoming more diverse in society and we are expecting different types of people and people's sizes - and that's all fine.
"When it comes to weight, and especially the distribution of the visual fat - which [is] the deep fat which is wrapping around the visual organs behind our belly button. "It's that fat that we can't see that is continuously producing these inflammatory... compounds, which are basically at the base of type 2 diabetes"."We are not talking about the message behind this, and people are not informed that the damage is happening silently.Main image: An obese woman photographed in London, England in September 2014.
I have to agree here.. we really need to start in primary school with healthy diet education. There is a difference between positive imaging and downright unhealthy bodies.. but very hard for people to change.
Rule of thumb. If you can’t see your genitals when standing up, you are in serious trouble health wise.
FFS if you are obese I am sure you know it unless you have no mirrors in your house. The perpetually offended. People just need to back away from the pies.
The article references BMI, which is pseudo science. Obesity is a real issue in some countries, but BMI is total nonsense.
The truth hurts as they say
Ffs... Here it is: if your fat, you're more likely to die from all cause mortality. Your quality of life is demolished and you are a burden on the health system. That's the downside. The good news, you can decide to do something about it anytime you want...
Fucking fatties
I have noticed this with my own GP. I’m overweight myself and surprised that he doesn’t mention it to me more often!
She’s right but It’s because doctors can’t make money if you just loose the weight yourself.
Just tell them their mouth is bigger than their arse. And if you don’t stop your dead
No shit.
Woke society
Facts Feelings Telling someone the truth is an act of kindness, those who lie to you in order to appear nice only care about themselves!
'Oh, you can't say that' - the most dangerous virus in the world today
Well in cancel culture and political correctness one can only see the trend widening
Docs not going to die on that hill.
So be happy that you’re overweight. Let’s not let it weigh you down mentally. We’ll just ignore the fact that you’ll be less healthy and far more likely to die younger. Which would lead to more MH issues ? Being positive or being lied to (censoring critical info)
Not the first time doctors are afraid to ethically do their jobs either 😕
Big is beautiful hey ,this is on all of you Msm hacks pushing a toxic narrative that been unhealthy is ok
Aw you might hurt someone's feelings over their health😄😄😄
Body positively movement was a mistake.
Big news : doctors are cowards !
So people are going to falk into I'll health and have health complications because doctors don't want to be mean to people
Doctors need to grow some balls.
Doctors should be doing their job,I don’t think there’s any positives from being Obese
She's right!
I thought we were supposed to 'believe the science'. Just not when it doesn't suit the Left's agenda, it would seem. Biology is hateful, apparently. Absolute looney-toons.
🤡🌍
Our time as a species is coming to an end
This is getting dangerous.. medical facts can't be communicated.. where the F are we headed
Are they also afraid to say someone is too thin?
We're actually doomed as a species if we keep this level of sensitivity up
Funny how overweight people blame their weight on any other issue other than processed food they eat...smokers are told to give up unless the want to die... doctors shoukd say it as it is..its their job to help people stay healthy...
Now do Covid injections
Teampall_Doire Doctors never talk to you about food and eating because they don’t know, they have no traiiing.
Teampall_Doire My mother keeps one on your toes. As soon as you walk in the door, she'll tell you that you need to lose weight or shave. 😭
Obesity kills and should never be seen as 'ok'. And it MUST be addressed by doctors - it's their job to help their patients. But you can do it with some sensitivity you don't have to 'scold' a patient just be kind but realistic about the dangers of being fat.
We all need to be less afraid of hurting other people’s feelings, we’re losing touch with reality due to our morbid fear of causing offence even when none is intended. It’s pathetic and dangerous for society
politics + science = politcs
Those Dr shouldn't be doctor so.!
rubbish nobodys scared of it they just started a whole obesity service at St Vincents run by a South African specialist, he was on the radio a month or two back
The day they can write a prescription for it they'll lose the fear 💰💰💰
And they talk shit about people using recreational drugs, the entire medical system is a joke.
Drop the cake and pick up a barbell
Better be told it straight than die of a heart attack, stroke, cancer, etc
They should call them ..salad dodgers instead of fat slobs!
Doctors are worse than drug dealers. With every visit u need a new tablet 🙃
Shur can’t they just identify as slim people 👍
It not just the doctors,it's the whole western world,when people on the far left care more about feelings over facts.When people can speak the truth because you are labelled some ist ism or phobic what else can you expect. Which is push the media.
🤦🏻♀️
Maybe they should be trained on how to positively address health issues.
After 3 years of covid I'm not surprised doctors are more afraid of how they look rather than what is factual and morally right.
Doctors who hand out endless addictive depression tablets 🤣🤣
