Hi, I’m the poster than mentioned the ridiculous vaccine mandates in relation to people being shouted down. Of course, analogies are hard, so that went over a bunch of heads. I went through the initial vaccination round and one booster. I have since stopped and won’t be bothering again given my risk profile. One I formed myself by turning my health around. As for intersections, the group that isn’t willing to do the work to avoid Covid being a problem and scrambling for a passive solution in the form of endless vaccines is the same group that cedes their autonomy to big pharma to eliminate their obesity problem. Funny how that works out. Meanwhile, none of them have bothered reading any of the labels / package inserts for any of these drugs. Reading is also hard. |
Taking a weekly injection to lose weight is far easier than changing one's eating and activity habits. These drugs will become the ace up the sleeve for disordered eaters, those who want to drop 15 and post partum women who want to speed things up. |
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I hope you never stop posting here. You are endlessly entertaining. Are you also the one who believes Big Pharma is…checks notes… harvesting the posts of moms on a small DC-based message board to decide the Big Pharma multi-billion dollar global advertising strategy? Do you also believe Meghan Markle is posting here? Do tell us more! |
Actually no, I definitely don’t think that. Never posted anything like that. Look, if you want to be unexceptional and cede your life over, go right ahead. At least do some basic research, even though it might require some reading. Though I have my doubts you would understand much of an FDA mandated label / package insert anyways given this response. I’ll go back to not being fat and doing a lot of fun/epic things I couldn’t do when I was fat. I have no plans of ever living my life that way again. You ought to try it out some time. 🍻 |
Well, I don’t have a problem with weight, so I wouldn’t know the difference. You keep “doing your research,” though. 👍👍👍 Just don’t stop posting here. I read these threads for entertainment value from the seething and increasingly crazy anti-fat posters, and you are good for that. |
DP, but sincere question. If you don't or have never had a problem with your weight, what position are you in to call others "fat shamers" or "anti fat" - especially those people who have been obese for a large amount of their lives, and worked hard to change themselves? |
Sure thing. You haven’t pointed out anything of substance anywhere. So you aren’t even adding to the discussion. So we have that. And since you have never had a weight problem you don’t have any perspective anyways. So why are you even in the discussion at all.? |
Because I can read. It is very clear. You don’t have to be fat to understand the loathing (often self-loathing) and anger of the anti-fat posters. Describing them as “fat shamers” is simply factual. |
Oh honey, you have zero personal experience on this topic and have no idea how to read actual experience. Exit gracefully before... wait, you've already embarrassed yourself. You're probably the same person who accuses people who have successfully lost and maintained wait the hard and natural way, as "hating their former fat selves." You have no creativity in your understanding and no experience to back up your ad hominems. |
You don’t know what posts are mine. I will admit, though, that there is nothing of substance in my posts where I mock you. But that’s because I’m mocking substance-free posts themselves. I don’t really think you deserve a serious answer to your question, but I am going to give one: because I am convinced that people like you, the “it’s all willpower” and “put down the Twinkie” crowd, are blindly parroting the propaganda of chemical, pesticide, medical, and/or agricultural industries that are desperately putting off investigations into food production and/or medical practices that have caused large-scale inflammatory responses that cost billions in healthcare and shortened lives. Something foundational has changed in our food supply or our medical practices in the past 50 years, something that is seen across humans and animals, something profound. Obesity is just the tip of the iceberg here: Type 1 diabetes in children has skyrocketed, for instance, even among kids that are normal or underweight. But so long as people remain convinced — in spite of increasing piles of evidence to the contrary — that obesity is just a matter of willpower or the ridiculous theory about emotional problems above, we will not make progress on getting to the root of what appears to be a global sharp rise in inflammatory and auto-immune responses. And there are so many possible causes: Pesticides? Antibiotics? Vaccine immune responses? Something we don’t understand at all? Honestly it’s probably a complexity of causes. But none of that investigation will happen so long as people insist there is a moral component to weight. It makes me angry, to be honest, because I think people like you are costing people their lives. You value your ego as a skinny person so much, it’s so critical to your self-worth, that you’ll freak out and try to sabotage any discussion that even hints at a systemic problem. Your ego matters more to you than improving the health of millions of people. So yes, I will mock you and jump in on these threads because I think people like you are harming others. |
![]() What anger? I’m not even angry that you went in with the personal attacks just now - ‘whatever you're doing to work on yourself clearly isn't working” is a personal attack. Also why are you assuming I’m fat? |
You probably think the Republican and Democratic Parties are equally bad too. ![]() |
You sound like a 16-year-old “Libertarian.” Please, do continue. God knows we could all use the laughs. DP |
N(ish)P (aka not going back and forth with you previously): Thank you. |
Quite the wall of text here. You are wildly mischaracterizing my views here. I am in agreement with much of what you say concerning our systems and possible causes. What I am not willing to agree with is the idea that this is ALL external for every single person. And that no person has any control of the weight and obesity. That is complete and utter BS and the reverse of empowering. I have posted that over and over and over again. That turns into fat shaming and the extreme misrepresentation you posted above. |
