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.

-We do not need healthcare. We need a gym membership. Actually, we do not even need that. We just need a pair of running shoes. That is CHEAP. IT IS DIRT CHEAP. You sound like a mixture of Chat-GPT and a liberal c@!#. You are also making really delusional arguments. Are you saying that the USA is so fat because it is a poor country? That is an incredibly stupid, illogical, and messed up argument that only a stupid @$$ chatbot or an idiot would make.

Healthcare does nothing to end obesity when there are MCDONALDS RESTAURANTS IN HOSPITALS!

In Christ,

I have had enough of your bullshit, Joseph Van Name.

Let me make it clear that I have never stated that the USA is a poor country. Your constant strawman arguments are not only pathetic but also show a lack of critical thinking skills.

Regarding your comments about healthcare, it is fucking ridiculous to suggest that healthcare has no role in addressing obesity. Access to healthcare is a complex issue that can impact a person's ability to make healthy choices. While it is true that having a gym membership or a pair of running shoes can be helpful in promoting physical activity, it is not a solution for everyone.

Furthermore, your suggestion that healthcare does nothing to end obesity when there are McDonald's restaurants in hospitals is fucking absurd. It is not an either-or situation. Both access to healthcare and promoting physical activity are important in addressing obesity.

I would also like to remind you that in my signature, I have included a statement.
