[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a "skinny" person and probably get some very small fraction of body shaming in people telling me I'm too thin, offering me cookies, etc. I eat healthy and I eat a lot, and I also want to be left alone. But bullies will bully you for whatever they can articulate, and there are a surprisingly high number of the.

While I really like the article, I really wish we would stop talking about bullies so much (who are unlikely to change after reading the article, no matter how factual it is) and start integrating healthy food and habits into society so they are accessible. It is very hard to choose healthy foods when they are either MUCH more expensive or MUCH more time consuming to prepare. It's also harder to walk or bike to work in most of the USA. Systemically removing sugar and processed foods from the food chain and building livable cities is nowhere in the policy conversation. We are adding bike lanes, which is great, but that's about the only real initiative I've seen in major American cities. I am surprised insurance companies aren't lobbying for these changes.[/quote]

Very good analysis, PP![/quote]

not really she skipped over the metabolically unhealthy skinny people. those skinny people are eating the same foods and not exercising and are still unhealthy. its about individual choices.

we shuold do these things because they are good for everyone and the environment not because of obese people. the problem is that skinny people dont want these changes because they cost money, and they are able to be virtue signaling skinny (just try harder fatty!) while possibly as metabolically unhealthy as an obese person or even more than an overweight person.

those interventions are for lifestyle not just a response to obesity. obesity=lifestyle which is something you seem to have issues understanding. [/quote]
