[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God, the Reddit fatlogic trolls are so dumb. It's embarrassing.[/quote]
Not a troll.  It’s true.  It’s one thing to love yourself no matter what; it’s another to convince yourself that being fat doesn’t come with all sorts of health consequences.  [/quote]

Like I said, really really stupid.

Signed,
Related to an obesity researcher who is an author of several of those studies you are too dim to understand.[/quote]

NP here.  I work in health care on a critical care team at a large hospital.  Every single day that I go to work, I physically put my hands on people who are typically at the end of their lives in the ICU (non-trauma ICU; medical).

Obesity, and especially morbid obesity like Tess H., is a comorbidity that shortens the lifespan, and is a disease independent of other factors.  I have a feeling your relative does cellular research, right?  I witness the last breaths of dying people every single week and you know what?  The large majority of them are fat.  Many are profoundly fat, >350 lbs (male and female).

Show me data that contradict my lived professional experience, PP[/quote]

You don't understand statistics, do you.[/quote]

I do - every rigorous population study has correlated very high body mass with increased mortality.   I naively offered some anecdata from my job [u]that happens to wholly support actual research-generated data[/u].   You won't click on these links but I'll include this well-done for anyone who's curious and not in abject denial.  The second meta-analysis looks at data 10 million people from several continents.  10 million.

Is that enough "statistics" for you?

Huh. You keep demonstrating further and further your basic lack of statistics understanding. How embarrassing.[/quote]
