I was feeling a rush. I reading again it is true you were trying to do that. I apologize sincerily.
I would go the step further and including not only proper training of medics but also proper teaching in schools. The latter still focusing on general healthly living without attempts to point it to size and proper active corrections since without doing so it would increase stigma even more (where in schools can very easily lead to bullying, and it already happens for the same reason).
Bullying is also one reason why I believe in normalizing being larger, as I don’t believe it is mutually exclusive to trying to achieve better health for everyone.
Thanks! But it can be truly stressful when discussing this from my position both online and in real life. Hearing that I am “killing myself” or that I am “killing people” is really hurtful.

Yeah, people are typically not open to having real discussions, especially online. Hyperbole and attacks are common. It’s just the nature of human discourse, anything different is met with much contempt.

96% of westerners do not have optimal metabolic health. That includes all the Thin on the Outside Fat on the Inside (TOFI) people. It’s a massive problem, obese people are just the easy ones to see. Thin people get heart attacks too! Metabolic health is at a all time low! This is a problem for everyone not just the obese.
That is very much why I want aiming for general health, because this is a global issues not specific to who looks larger. And let’s not forget that people with an amount of fat considered healthy can still be unhealthy. But there is also the large possibility that perfect health just cannot exist in nature in a widespread way. We should always strive for improvements and continue promoting health, but trying to reach perfection to the widespread population will not be possible without extreme dehumanizing measures.

Guilty of that errors myself.
