True. Lots of shit people do to and with their bodies is unhealthy. I don't think people view these other things with the same level of vitriol as obesity. Personal disgust seems to be at play, masquerading as concern.
I guess you did not see my rant in the smoking thread? lol.
So, I guess no one is allowed to discuss it, or else we are body shaming. That is the level it has gotten to, and that IS a problem. If a doctor bringing up your weight is now considered body shaming, then there isn't anything anyone can say, I guess, without being accuse of operating out of personal disgust, rather than concern.
Should I not care that my 34 year old friend had a heart attack? If she'd had it due to smoking, AND there was a TV show glorifying smoking, you'd better bet your ass I'd have the exact same discussion, here.
This has gotten to be a lose/lose situation for everyone. :
You can't even bring it up without being accused of body shaming. That's kind of my point.
