There, I said it. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [โ] soviettaters@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago (1 child) I think the issue is with normalizing unhealthy bodies. idc how you look as long as you're healthy, but society is becoming increasingly accepting of obviously unhealthy lifestyles and bodies. It's no better than anorexia. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] Truffle@lemmy.ml -4 points 2 years ago (3 children) Unhealthy bodies like how? What dobyou mean by that? How can you know someone's health status and or lifestyle by the way they look?

I'm not saying we should be assholes to fat people but we should still teach kids that being overweight is unhealthy permalink fedilink source parent [โ] howrar@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) You can get the rough strokes from looks.

We need better educated more empathetic doctors who go beyond looking at someone to make assumptions about someone's health. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] howrar@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago I would say that this is a problem of lacking resources, not laziness. I've never met a doctor that didn't have a constant stream of patients and non-stop work to do. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] GoodbyeBlueMonday@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago If your eyeballs are missing, I can make an assumption that your vision isn't great just by looking at you. That's not a moral judgement. Doesn't mean blood tests are useless, and in fact it means we have some idea where to start investigating a potential health problem. Yes, I agree that there's bias against folks who are overweight, and also that there's a range of risk associated with being overweight. It's pretty clear, however, that obesity is a health concern that we should take seriously. If someone smokes five pack of cigs a day, I'm going to make an assumption about their lung health. There's always outliers that live to 100 smoking and not doing exercise, but it would be a shit doctor if they didn't tell folks not to follow their example. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] ULS@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago* (3 children) Ime fat people are pleasant to hang out with. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [โ] Truffle@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah, being fat shouldn't be a qualifier for anything IMHO. Like, let people live their lives in peace! There are pleasant and unpleasant fat people, as there are thin, so why does weight have to do with anything?! It is baffling to me we have to work so hard to humanize fat persons. Fat bias is so ingrained in our culture people think is ok. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] ULS@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Some of the fat people I've worked with were so much more hard working than others. But on other hand some customers I've dealt with were the worst customers. There was a notorious mother daughter duo that my co workers labeled the "Thunder Cunts". The sad part is they had kids that probably.lived a life of hell. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] Truffle@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah, child abuse is no joke. I bet you also had non fat customers who were a pain in the ass too, so it is not about weight, but about being an insufferable tw4twaffle. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] ULS@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Yeah I worked in a really shitty area.
