    If someone with, say, a heart condition is overweight, explaining why that’s a problem isn’t sexist or body shaming. It’s a widely accepted medical fact. I’m against punishing doctors simply for telling people things they don’t want to hear.

      Nope. Totally wrong. Not only are your assumptions about how healthcare discussions go extremely wrong and presumptive, but fatness IS NOT as big of a health inxicztor as you think!!

      Someones’ fat content in their skin is NOT an indication of even cardiovascular health.

      For an extreme example, see sumo wrestlers. They’re fat, but many of them could kick the shit out of you or me without breaking a sweat.
