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.
So you think education means that I am not allowed to criticize people for shoving an entire box of twinkies down their throats for breakfast? You clearly have absolutely no idea what education is at all. I did not get any education in refraining from justly criticizing people for killing themselves and causing climate change.
You get all offended when I criticize fat Americans for killing themselves. Are people getting locked up for being obese in the USA? No. They are not. They are instead getting locked up for drugs. Why do you think it is alright for the USA to lock people up for marijuana but even justly criticizing people for their gluttony is considered as a heinous offense? You seriously need to examine yourself.
As long as the USA locks up people for marijuana but as long as we cannot even criticize people for their weight, I must consider the American people to be a disgusting bunch of fat bigots.
Do you think I want to look at all the unattractive fat people?
Do you think I want to be borderline assaulted by the adipose tissue of a really fat guy on the bus? NO!
Do you think it is alright for the fat people to make airplanes heavier and cause climate change while making everyone around them uncomfortable?
I do not want to smell fat people.
Obesity is horrible. Obesity kills people. Donald Trump will probably die or become incapacitated in office due to his obesity at his age. Lizzo is ugly. Donald Trump once called Rosie O Donnell a fat pig, but DONALD AND ROSIE ARE BOTH FAT PIGS. At least the fat pigs give us delicious bacon (which I do not eat too much of because I am not a glutton).
In Christ,
