    See, you just proved my point. You said “healthy weight” even though there is no such thing, and demonstrably so. You are allowing yourself to adopt capitalist thinking.

      There is absolutely a healthiest weight (BMI 19-21), supported by mounds of science. Weight higher than the healthiest one causes poor CVD outcomes, higher cancer risk, depression, and many more. That is nearly a fact. Evidence: calorie restriction has a positive effect in laboratory settings. Population studies from questionnaires and direct weight measurement. Longitudinal studies for many decades.

      We should not shame anyone for their weight, nobody has to lose weight or do anything. But don’t spread misinformation like that, it’s just not true. Notice I’m not asking you for proof because it’s well established.

      Obesity is a product of capitalism, the very thing you claim to hate. There would be no fat people in your personal utopia.

        Being fat has nothing to do with capitalism. You are a right wing traitor lunatic who belongs in prison if you believe that nonsense.

          So you’re telling me that Walmart, highly engineered and processed foods, food deserts and a general lack of, or disconnection from, traditional cuisine and foodways all have absolutely nothing to do with capitalism… lol, ok man
