I mean 2.8 million folks die each year due to obesity related diseases and effects.

Since fat is beautiful, does that make covid more beautiful? Maybe we should stop stigmatizing it.

PS: I vomited in my mouth after typing that. But my general point to that sarcasm, putting any "problem" on a pedestal is stupid. Is covid dangerous, absolutely. 1 death is one too many. But a lot of the same people who go hysterical about covid, claim obesity is fine... and wear masks while alone at home during zoom meetings. There was no way to day 1 avoid deaths no matter the "scientific illiteracy". That's just political rhetoric to sway votes. Just like student loan forgiveness.

What a stupid, asshole thing to say.

Yet correct. "Fat is beautiful" is and had been killing far more people than COVID could dream of, year over year, and contributes mightily to the unabashed consumerism that destroys environments and hurdles everyone into misery through climate change from their dietary habits.

Supporting obesity out of some misguided "don't be mean" morality should be treated with disgust.
