Listen up, Joseph Van Name Ph.D.,

I came across your post in this forum thread and the linked video, and I wanted to address your comments about gluttony and Americans. To be honest, I didn't bother watching the video because I don't have time for your nonsense.

But let me tell you, I'm disappointed in your use of stereotyping and stigmatizing language to describe Americans as "fat gluttons." This kind of language is harmful and contributes to a culture of shame and guilt around weight and health.

Your comments also fail to acknowledge the many complex factors that can contribute to unhealthy habits, such as socio-economic status, mental health, and access to healthy food options. Telling someone to "stop eating garbage" or "get some exercise" is not a solution to these issues.

Your tone is also unacceptable. It's very rude, which is alienating and off-putting to those who may be struggling with their health. A more compassionate and understanding approach would go a long way in promoting healthy habits and self-care.

As a Ph.D. holder, I would expect you to have better communication skills and a more nuanced approach to this important issue. Your communication power and influence come with a responsibility to promote positive and inclusive messaging.

So, do better. Reconsider your language and approach when discussing weight and health issues. Let's work together to promote a more inclusive and supportive message that encourages healthy habits and self-care for all individuals.
