So I got another comment from someone who I should’ve just marked as spam, but being who I am I didn’t.
Uh, so are any of those quotes from actual MD’s? What do you think they’re going to say if they come from a magazine targeted at fat people? So you’re saying that doctors are lying to their patients when they tell them they have to lose weight or they will die? Clearly, its all one big conspiracy. Just like September 11th and the moon landing.
This sounds like someone who is one of those people who would tell you to not get so worked out about something- to just accept it and stop overreacting or some such bullshit.
No, most of the quotes are not from ‘actual MD’s’ (I only had three quotes anyway)- the first two are from a nurse, and don’t discount nurses, okay. The third one was from a blog (I don’t know where the ‘magazine targeted at fat people’ came from…) which had the links to all it’s sources and references at the bottom of the page.
I don’t think doctors are lying to their patients- I think a lot of them just don’t know better because they have been trained with all these stereotypes and lies about fat. (And what’s with this putting doctors on a pedestal- they aren’t always right anyway, they make mistakes just like everyone else.)
I don’t see how this is a conspiracy- I’m not pulling this out of my ass. There are books, facts, and studies to back this up. Maybe if you ever bothered to look into it and bother to read a book about it (here, here, here, here- these are just a few) instead of telling me to shut up and accept what is ‘obviously true’, you might see a different outlook.
I don’t know why I bother trying to prove me point to people who obviously don’t want to change their minds anyway, so I’ll just stop now.
I was actually going to post about something different- but I think I’ll save that for tomorrow.
