fat people are easier to "farm'

you can sell them medications for life for their diabetes and arthritis

you can make them bust out 25k for a gastric banding (mrs palashays partner runs such a clinic and mrs palashay now gets to visit his 25 million dollar mansion at indooroopilly.) so the medical profession love them

fat people love to sit on the couch and watch netflix so big media love them

they buy all the profitable foods from big Ag...corn syrup and processed carbs.

they need residential care becasue they cant get up their stairs, so aged care industry can farm them as well

fat people are a marketers wet dream .

lean resilient people who like bush walking and jogging.....you cant sell them nothing .
they are to be despised.
yuk
how can you control such independant people

We in Australia follow America closely:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity_in_the_United_States

Over 70 million adults in U.S. are obese (35 million men and 35 million women).
99 million are overweight (45 million women and 54 million men).
NHANES 2016 statistics showed that about 39.6% of American adults were obese.

When you get mocked for walking around limping because of your excess body weight, it is not because people love you. They are just irritated that you cannot be physically fit like them. I have not seen anyone lean, fit and healthy that has ever been despised. I have seen women hated by other women for looking stunning. But, fit healthy people do more. It is difficult to sell much to people who are obese that hide in their homes because they are embarrassed about being out in public.

To mothra, the body count for all the obesity related cancers, cardiovascular disease, strokes and all the limb amputations are inconsequential so long as sensibilities are protected.

Is there ANYONE on this forum that you HAVEN'T attempted to gaslight yet?

When mothra is obviously wrong, it is not a case of gaslighting.

Just make sure you never give her a box of matches....

Obesity is the leading cause of death in America. When will we talk about it?

https://bigthink.com/health/obesity-leading-cause-death-america-shame/

Do you not know how to create a hyperlink?

And what is this site? Is this peer reviewed? And US? You claimed "the West". So you lied. Again.

What i know is that ischaemic heart disease is the greatest killer in the Australia. I also know that not all people who suffer from ischaemic heart disease are obese and that all obese people do not suffer from ischaemic heart disease.

Such simplistic attempts at definitions lead the way towards prejudice. This is what the fight against body shaming is about.

Well that and the deliberate attempt to stop young people starving themselves to death.

There's a fight against body shaming? But shaming is a vital part of close infantry training, and if it goes on then so be it - I run my unit the way I run my unit....

..... presenting this week on the ABC special series the Cost Of Shaming we present ............... The Food, the Fads, and The Ugly..... The Fridges Of Madison County...... Four Wedding Cakes and A Funeral ..... Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barbecues ...... our Friday Night Special Movie Double will be A Few Good Meals followed by Gross Encounters Of The Third Courses ..................

So now even acknowledging excesses bodyfat is unhealthy is too much for the snowflakes

The episode, titled Exercise, aired on April 16 and depicted Bluey’s parents, Bandit and Chilli weighing themselves on a set of scales. After seeing how much he weighs, Bandit, Bluey’s dad, sighs and grabs his stomach, then embarks on a new exercise regimen.

Now the once respected

SMH

has picked up on this 'newspeak'
leaking from SkyTV
and many a 'right-wing anus'
-in error

As with a lot of 'newspeak' they've not even gone so far as looking up the definition.
I'm not sure what the SMH and SkyTV has been told the word means
They should look up 'big words' before they throw them into sentences.
I expect BETTER than this from the media.

woke, adjective:
Originally: well-informed, up-to-date.
Now chiefly: alert to racial or social discrimination and injustice; frequently in stay woke.

ABSOLUELY, in our developed half of the world

IRONICALLY, in the other half of the world, the leading cause of death is starvation and malnutrition

Ironically, the USA isn't even in the Top 10 of obese nations.
They are mostly the very rich 'self indulgent' nations like Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bhutan and some Caribbean nations like Bermuda which is the most obese.

So its skinny 'over-populated' nations and fat 'self-indulgent' nations. Under achievers and over achievers.
