[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a complete fantasy that excess weight (and I mean more than 20 lbs overweight) causes zero health problems.

When you have more weight for your body to carry, it necessarily puts more pressure on your muscles and bones. At the extreme, it's harder for doctors to do surgery because they have to cut through the fat.

For some people, they can't help it, but for many it's PREVENTABLE.

That's why it's completely different from having special needs and comparing the two is offensive. [/quote]

You can say the same about being xs and s or at the bottom of your BMI. It causes health related problems.[/quote]

When did I say it didn't?

Jeez, it's so triggering for all of you to hear that ANYONE who is fat might bear some responsibility for it and might be suffering health consequences. [/quote]
Not nearly as triggering as it is for some people to hear that there are fat people out there who still love themselves and are happy.[/quote]

They can love themselves and be happy, but they're likely still suffering health consequences from it and COULD bear responsibility for gaining that much weight.

And before someone attacks me -- the same can be said for people who are too thin. [/quote]

Being fat doesn’t mean that you are LIKELY suffering health consequences.  Maybe it’s more likely.  I’m not really even sure that’s true unless you start talking about very specific things.  I will wait, but I bet you can’t find a single study that says that fat people are overall more likely to die earlier or cost more in medical treatment than thin people.  
Do you know what actually IS unhealthy with multiple studies showing an earlier death?  Yo-yo dieting.  Losing weight than gaining it back again repeatedly.  And if you look at nearly every study on every method of weight loss, this is what happens 95% of the time.  
So, when you are telling a gay person to diet, you are asking someone who is probably not sick to do something that has a 95% chance of making them more sick. [/quote]
