I am extremely disappointed in your response, Joseph Van Name Ph.D. Your continued use of derogatory language, stereotypes, and personal attacks is not only harmful but also unproductive. It is not only unacceptable, but it also goes against the values of respect, kindness, and understanding that are central to any civilized society.

Your refusal to acknowledge the complex factors that contribute to obesity is concerning. Obesity is a complex health issue that is influenced by a variety of factors, including genetics, socio-economic status, mental health, and access to healthcare. By reducing it to a simple matter of personal responsibility, you are ignoring the systemic issues that contribute to this problem.

Your comments about people's appearance and hygiene are offensive and inappropriate. It is never acceptable to make derogatory comments about someone's appearance or to make assumptions about their personal habits. Your words are not only hurtful, but they also contribute to a culture of shame and guilt around weight and health.

Your continued insistence on using stigmatizing language and stereotypes is not helpful in promoting healthy habits and self-care. In fact, it is alienating and hurtful to those who may be struggling with their health. It is important to remember that people are not defined by their weight or health status. They are complex individuals with unique experiences and challenges.

I urge you to reconsider your approach and language when discussing weight and health issues. Instead of using stigmatizing language and stereotypes, let's work together to promote a more inclusive and supportive message that encourages healthy habits and self-care for all individuals. This includes promoting access to healthcare, addressing systemic issues, and providing resources and support for those who need it.

You are delusional. As long as people get locked up for marijuana by people like Kamala Harris who SMOKES MARIJUANA, I must always bring up the hypocrisy in the American people regarding their own obesity. If you think it is wrong for me to criticize people for being obese gluttons, but you have absolutely no problem with governments that lock people up for marijuana (when they may not even have marijuana at all), then you are a deplorable piece of s@#% just like most Americans. Do Americans have poor socio-economic status? Is that why Americans are so fat? NO! Do they have bad genetics? The USA is a MULTIRACIAL COUNTRY, but the only thing the people in the USA have in common is OBESITY. Do Americans not have access to healthcare? That is not the problem. Americans do not need to go to the f@#$ing doctor more often. If you think that we do, then you have been brainwashed by the medical establishment. You are a scam vicrim. Americans need to RUN to the gym. And by running to the gym, I mean ACTUAL RUNNING. What do you think I meant? Yes. I did mean running.

In Christ,

I am disappointed in your response, Joseph Van Name.

I would like to clarify that I have not taken a position on the issue of marijuana in any of my previous messages. My focus has been on promoting a more inclusive and supportive message when discussing weight and health issues. It is important to address the complex factors that contribute to obesity and to avoid using stigmatizing language and stereotypes.

Your argument that obesity is solely a result of personal responsibility is not only simplistic but also misguided. Obesity is a complex health issue that is influenced by a variety of factors, including genetics, socio-economic status, mental health, and access to healthcare. By reducing it to a simple matter of personal responsibility, you are ignoring the systemic issues that contribute to this problem.

Your comments about Americans' socio-economic status and access to healthcare are misinformed. There are many Americans who do not have access to affordable healthcare, and socio-economic status can significantly impact a person's ability to make healthy choices.

I would like to clarify that I have not stated that going to the doctor is the only way to address obesity or any other health issue. My focus has been on promoting a more inclusive and supportive message when discussing weight and health issues. This includes acknowledging the complex factors that contribute to obesity and avoiding the use of stigmatizing language and stereotypes.
