Obese people's bodies are failing obese people. Medicine is better than it has ever been. Yeah, fuck all this advancement, if it's not able to save some 800lb house cow from eating itself to death, why bother? Let's go back to dying from splinters and diarrhea.

With extremely rare exceptions, obesity is always, always a choice. The patient in the article chose to become 500 pounds, every single forkful of food that she didn't have to, but did, eat.
"Help Doctor, it hurts if I do this", needs to be followed by "then don't do it". Don't want to die of obesity at 40? Don't choose to become obese.

Patients with obesity deserve better care. But how?
Two words: Therapeutic fasting. More words: for about a year or two. Even more words: water only.

LOL...the answer to the problem is literally 5 words into the sub-title:
Diet and Exercise

The infuriating part about this is that a better cure exists for obesity and obesity related complications than exists for a huge amount of involuntary illnesses. There is a long list of conditions for which there is no real answer, but obeasts have access to a FREE cure that will work as good as 100% of the time. But apparently we're not doing enough to help them? Fuck off.

"We need more than diet and exercise pep talks to save people suffering from morbid obesity."
You're right... how about a gun and several bullets instead?

How many illnesses do these people need before they decide eating less is as option?
[–] Nofats_will_MAGA 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
Death will force that option.
