By the way, Fat Acceptance nutters, the reason many doctors discuss your weight with you when you visit is that almost all of them have done rotations where they have seen very graphic and very disturbing results of gas gangrene, amputations due to peripheral arterial disease, and diabetes-related blindness and other complications — all of which are strongly linked to and directly caused by obesity.

Doctors know very well the bad things that are statistically likely to occur to you when you are fat. They are trying to help you, not hurt you.

It’s not oppression. It’s common sense. Losing your feet at 45 when it’s completely preventable ain’t no way to go through life. Your doctors are trying to forestall that outcome.

The Fat Acceptance movement is a blight on sense and on humanity. They won’t even help themselves, nor let others help them. They’re like some weird combination of the MRAs and the anti-vaxxers.
