Dude being obese will literally kill you. Added weight destroys your joints, excess adipose causes chronic inflammation (which can lead to stuff like cancer),it causes plaque to build up in your veins/arteries. Promoting a healthy weight is not bad.
fatphobia is just an extension of misogyny and racism and the you can tell by who all the primary perpetrators of fatphobia are (yt men)

Notice how they specifically call out fatphobia and you immediately jump to “just live a healthy lifestyle”? You can’t even begin to have these conversations without unwarranted advice on a deeper issue you know nothing about / reluctant to learn

So fun fact, I work in healthcare & have been educated multiple times on the subject and do have discussions on this. Things like SDOH of health are absolutely important and do play a role in issues such as obesity. However, imo, using a word like fat phobia is extremely harmful. Obesity does quite literally fuck with your body on a cellular level- and puts people at risk for a whole host of issues. Attaching a label and making it a moral issue instead of a medical one (cont.)

Whether it be from lifestyle factors or from a genetic issue, is diminishing the fact that it does need treatment. We don’t call it ableist to say that COPD is a bad thing (whether it’s because someone smoked or got it cause they lived by one of Musk’s data centers). Same with things like addiction, mental illness, etc. If you can live a healthy lifestyle- live a healthy lifestyle. Obesity is objectively bad for your health, and it’s all fun and games until (cont.)

Until your body fails you and you end up with a conditions that could’ve potentially been prevented. If you wanna discuss the obesity epidemic, talk about overwork or the shit food that companies always push out. Call it classism if you’d like. Don’t make it fine, cause the fact is is that it’s not fine.
