[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a quick look at all of the organizations that are totally wrong about the risks of obesity

Thanks to the fat positive posters for pointing out their errors. [/quote]

Yeah.  They are wrong.  Here is my issue with these articles.  They say that people who are obese have a higher incidence of these illnesses.  They don’t say that when obese people lose weight, the incidence goes down.

Look, these organizations exist within a larger social context.  There are higher incidences of stroke and heart disease among African Americans as well, and these organizations will point out genetic and social causes, like physician bias and access to care.

Probably, the causes heart disease and stroke in these populations is multi factorial and have to do with genetics, SES, and access to care.  But the answer is to spread awareness, not to say that everyone should try to look and act like a thin, white, cis man.  [/quote]
