Are you suggesting that individuals have free will, choose the actions in their life and experience the consequences of their choices? Maybe smokers get lung cancer by chance and fat people just happen to die years earlier.

People are selfish. They want everything now and when disease appears they want a cure. "I have hypertension, give me a pill. I won't change anything, I want drugs. Why should I change anything?". The best thing about obesity is that it kills. It objectively is a trait that will die out we are watching evolutionary history unfold; enjoy the theatre.

Those assholes got it backwards. Medical care isn’t "failing obese people”--it’s telling them things they don’t want and refuse to hear. The truth is that obese people are intentionally failing to be receptive to effective health care.

Doctor: Your health issues are because you are fat. And you are fat because you eat too much food. You need to eat less food, which will cause your weight to decrease, which will alleviate most of your health issues.

Pig: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

it is often very hard to tell them their knee pain is likely due to wear and tear over the years.

/facepalm

It's also very hard to tell children their mother died because her fat literally strangled her.

That doctor refuses to address the fact it hints at with its anecdote, that even if they can "save" a morbidly obese patient today, you simply delay its death until tomorrow. Because the body is wrecked from trotter to snout, and even if you can patch it up today, it'll just gorge itself back into the emergency room. Why throw good money after bad, when it could go to help those who deserve it?

The vast majority of health problems come from smoking, drinking, drugs and over eating. And EVERYBODY FUCKING KNOWS THIS. Health insurance wont fix this. Single payer wont fix this. Seeing your doctor 4 times a year wont fix this. How fucking stupid are these people. They really believe some fat fuck is going to waddle into the doctor's office and when the doc says 'loose weight' fat fuck is going to have some kind of epiphany?

The article could use some edits. I've done the first two paragraphs:

"We need more than diet and exercise pep talks to save people who enjoyed the path to morbid obesity. After all, these people don't listen, instead indulging in social media circle jerks calling each other beautiful.

Watching a person die from cardiac arrest in an intensive care unit is amusing and is karmic justice delivered (not swiftly enough if you ask me). It’s especially funny when the person is a woman in her 40s who has been smothered to death by her own weight — and we doctors can do nothing to save her, not that she has done anything to deserve saving -quite the opposite. How's that body positivity going for you now? the doctors often gloat, relieved that this tub of lard can no longer burn people's eyes prouncing around in skimpy clothing , taking selfies and calling other fat asses beautiful."

If a company sold a pill that if used would reduce the symptoms and even in most cases put T2D into remission your company would have profits in the billions. If that company also had a pill that would reduce to eliminate the risk of over a dozen cancers including breast, colin, kidney and pancreas along with others you would have billions in profits. If you could reduce the incidents of stroke and heart attacks dramatically you would make billions. And if you could alleviate joint pain and well over all body pain you would make billions. You put all these drugs into 1 pill you would have a company that would be the first trillion dollar company.

But instead of paying for this miracle pill it is given away free and can actually save you money. Just eat a normal human amount of food and move some.

Cure for obesity? Stop coddling and blaming everyone/everything else besides the individual. Teach people cico, and outlaw any type of lies that say otherwise.

You know what? Nevermind, just let the fat fucks all die off until we have a planet of shitlords.
