I just watched a Vice show about Chris Farley. Man, he was really sensitive about his weight. Interesting dichotomy between trying to please his audience with "fat guy fall down, people happy", and "I wish people liked me for me, but they don't, so I'm going to go do a bunch of drugs to feel better"

Obesity does put strain on organs and does cause a multitude of what would otherwise be non-occurring diseases in certain individuals, this is true . I realize it's not still aug 2022Ms Harmless wrote:"people are fat"Mickey wrote:That is not what mutually exclusive means.Ms Harmless wrote:being fat and unhealthy are like being fat and having brown hair
yes they can occur together, but it's never true (hence my "mutually exclusive") that they inherently cause each other, by definition; and that's what fat acceptance is about
you can be fat, you can be thin, you can have brown, black, blonde or blue hair, be 7 feet or two feet tall, but it's never true that any of these things *are the inherent cause* of ill health as a whole *or* that they will necessarily appear together
"people are unhealthy"
these statements mean two different things and are not inherently contingent on each other
that was my point, stop being a fucking jerk

Ah, makes sense. Still, I would say Jeremy Renner being maimed by a snowplow has '23 off to a shitty start.

I can't agree with Ms. Harmless that weight and health are mutually exclusive, but weight is not completely predictive of health, so people should keep their opinions of the health of fat people to themselves. People have doctors for that sort of thing.
As for the word "obese," I would not take kindly to that term from anyone other than my doctor.
