She thinks lots of people commit suicide because someone said they're fat. Even if all suicide deaths were because of fat-shaming and not real reasons like clinical depression and external circumstances, they're greatly outnumbered by deaths from heart attacks, strokes and diabetes.

Contrast the average lifespan in America with the average lifespan in Japan. It's not that the Japanese have magical "genetics," it's that Americans are so fucking fat and most Japanese are human-sized.

Japanese people actually have higher rates of heart disease and other obesity related illness at lower BMIs, so they made their criteria for being classified as normal weight lower, rather than trying to change the definition of healthy. Japanese people stay slim and shockingly (/s) have lower rates of these diseases.

If you think about it, all fats are committing suicide... though suicide by shitty food is a very slow and stupid way to do it
