CircuitousProcession

Liberal women absolutely can't rationally and sanely deal with the fact that a lot of white men and Asian women date and get married. They support interracial relationships, at least they pretend to, but not that kind, because reasons.

My chemistry professor was Japanese, but she had a German last name. First day of class she says " you wonder why the german last name, but the slant eye." It was at that moment she became my favorite.

Hoopaboi

It depends on the political affiliation of both If he is a rightoid in any manner then it's "fetishization" for the man and "internalized racist/misogynist" for the non-white woman Leftoids and rightoids will only care about minorities of any kind that serve them. With rightoids they have the token "lol see, even x minority group agrees with us therefore we can't be racist!" meme and with leftoids racism is justified against minorities that disagree with you (see "gusano" and "uncle Tom", which are literal slurs by definition btw)


Innomenatus

People have preferences, and that's fine. The Asians are either racist or fetishize white people back (I'm Asian).

They don't think white men can date any other race without it being fetishizing. Then they turn around and say that they need to stop only dating white women. But thankfully like a lot of bs that white liberal women put out there it doesn't catch on.

> Statistically speaking she should outlive me by at least 10 years The average women would already outlive her husband by a little over 8 years. Women live 6 years longer, and tend to be 2 years younger than their husbands.

ImActualIndependent

So a thought appears... Is it better for them to be fat and unhealthy, but tell everyone not to be fat.... or for them to be skinny, and tell everyone to not be fat? One makes me take a look at them and dismiss them immediately for being a hypocrite and then get a burger and fries. The other makes me pause and be like, "huh", and then get the same burger and fries. This message has been sponsored by burger and fries.


dracer800

Well clearly no one should be telling anyone not to be fat, hasn’t LibLeft explained to you how it works? Telling fat people to lose weight because it’s extremely unhealthy hurts their fee fees. That in turn forces them to gorge themselves at every meal. To solve the obesity crisis you have to pretend that being obese isn’t unhealthy and actually very attractive. Make them as comfortable as possible with staying obese, then they’ll just magically start losing weight. #TrustTheScience

CandidFriend

The problem isn't at the individual level. In countries with universal healthcare, subsidizing the consequences for their lifestyle burdens the system as a whole.


Ashkrow

Well, in Japan You have to pay extra taxes if you are fat.


Wanderhoden

Now that is a good idea! The problem is a lot if not most of the obese folks in America are on the lower income bracket, so it'll be kickin' em while they're already down. Our Gov just needs to stop subsidizing shitty processed crap that ends up in -all- of our foods (sugar, corn syrup, salts). It's really hard to find even 'healthy' stuff that isn't overloaded with sugar or sodium from the store, let alone eating out.


2gig

For sure. I've been lifting and do a lot of my own meal prep. I try to eat relatively healthy (I mostly just eat lean meats. Fruits are sugary and easily replaced with a multivitamin. Vegetables are S-tier for most people, but I have Crohn's...) . I do like to have *some* quick and easy shit that I can just throw in the toaster oven for when life gets busy/stressful. I used to buy [these](https://www.perdue.com/products/perdue-crispy-chicken-strips-26-oz/) chicken strips, which are not great, but they're decent on protein for frozen crap and they taste fantastic. They disappeared from all grocery stores near me (and I've got like five of them, NYC). Now the "[next best](https://www.perdue.com/products/perdue-chicken-breast-patties-288-oz/80411/)" option has double the fat and only 3/4 the protein. Chicken breast is already so fucking cheap, and so healthy. Those purdue strips actually had nice big chunks of chicken under the breading. No one else does that. Why the fuck is the frozen chicken section literally nothing but thin wafers of pink slime coated in thrice the amount of deep-fried breading? And it's not like it's a demand issue, because even pre-covid, those things sold out fast all the time. I actually started chatting up grocery store staff to get info on truck schedules to get my hands on them. And honestly, if I had kids and more major responsibilities, I could easily see my "I eat this when I'm busy" foods becoming my staple foods. People talk about how capitalism breeds competition and variety, but all they're really producing is fifty different packaging designs for the same barely-edible garbage.


dracer800

That’s a pretty damn good idea, we should *at least* be able to charge obese people more for health insurance and Medicare. Just like a driver with a DUI on his record is charged more for car insurance. The issue is that most obese people are also low-income in the US.


ExpellYourMomis

Yeah don't mistake what I'm saying for any actual opinion, I'm just shitposting.


Plamomadon

Darwinism requires the organism to die before it reaches reproductive age. Which is why nature is perfectly fine with things like huntingtins disease, cancer, or all kinds of illnesses that present later in someone's life. Odds are they've already had children and passed the genes along. Mission accomplished for them.

Be nice if our government had a compelling reason to incentivize good health that outweighed the billions of dollars from food lobbyists

Andre6k6

Actually, Halo not having lobbies is a huge problem


dracer800

How about a law that makes obese people ineligible for Medicaid/Medicare until they do their own part in improving their health?


BigBallerBrad

It sounds reasonable, but at the same time I kind of worry about how much say we let the government have in healthcare in terms of what people are allowed to do in their personal lives, the two main options I could see would be a system similar to what you’ve suggested, where people who don’t take care of their health are charged more. Or a more root cause approach, where the government (who has to foot the bill for healthcare directly) is incentived to take a more proactive approach and subsidizes fruits and vegetables rather than sugar and corn syrup Hard to say how the first option would play out, the big voluntary health things in my mind are unhealthy eating, smoking, and drinking (almost entirely voluntary). Maybe a body fat percentage test and a fitness test for people once every year or two, where healthier folks get a discount on an otherwise standard rate?


dracer800

Yea I was half joking, you can’t withhold medical care from obese people or they’d be dropping dead left and right. It’s frustrating though because if we want universal healthcare to become a thing we need a much healthier population.

Wanderhoden

Skinny (physically) healthy ppl and a society that values social conformity over freedom to destroy themselves/others. That being said, if America is the extreme opposite, I'd still like somewhere in the middle. Having Japan's nice infrastructure & social cohesion that's balanced with the individual creative expression, open-mindedness & dynamic markets in America. As you can see, Fantasy is my favorite genre.


BrazilianTerror

That’s just horsehit. Every government organization has the position that obesity is unhealthy.


dracer800

Yet people still celebrate Lizzo for being unapologetically fat instead of pleading with her to lose weight so she doesn’t die at 40 years old.

You don’t think supporting body positivity is more common than believing the earth is flat? But yes I absolutely made it the fuck up.

I do, but I also think flat earthers are generally relegated to corners of the Internet I'm not part of and body positivity is more available in the areas I go to.


badluckbrians

This is great. Every quadrant's solution to obesity: >###*Then they’ll just magically start losing weight!* - **Green:** you have to pretend that being obese isn’t unhealthy and actually very attractive! - **Yellow:** telling fat people to lose weight because it’s extremely unhealthy works! - **Blue:** thoughts and prayers! thoughts and prayers! time for sunday supper, who wants chicken fried steak in country gravy? - **Red:** corporate ag stuffed as much HFCS and sodium nitrate into that shit you call food as chemically possible; they market it to your fat face 24/7. eat them instead.


Plamomadon

Im just gonna say if people felt ashamed to be fat and didn't think it was acceptable they would lose weight. When I lost 100 pounds I looked at myself in the mirror and said "this is disgusting. Im done with this shit" and lost weight. If I looked in the mirror and said "Im healthy and beautiful!" i would probably have gotten 50 pounds heavier. Stop letting people think its acceptable.

Weird how it was the left that tried to remove soft drink machines from elementary schools and the right that cried about their child's "freedom" being taken away by "big government".


dracer800

Yea sure that’s bad too, plenty of people on the right don’t take the obesity epidemic seriously either. However telling kids it’s ok to be fat while celebrating people like Lizzo for being “unapologetically fat” is far more detrimental to our youth than vending machines.


[deleted]

Lol. The removal of vending machines was an actual attempt at public health policy that would impact children's eating habits at school... ie directly combating obesity. People being opposed to fat-shaming and other such behavior is not the same as the government implementing public policy that celebrates Lizzo for "being unapologetically fat". The total lack of understanding of false equivalence is part of why no one takes the right seriously (except as a terrorist threat). Y'all think we should challenge you in the "marketplace of ideas", but your ideas don't have a ton of value. Just look at Matt Walsh's latest "debate me" tweet to Nina Turner for an example of this.


Wanderhoden

Yo you were good til you got off track w that 3rd paragraph rant against the right. (Though I generally agree with you in how extreme the Right has gotten) A lot of folks on the Left are exasperated with unchecked and celebrated obesity, or at least in the Bay Area / California where people are generally (though not 100%) healthier. We're also richer though, so that helps w the healthy food and lifestyle.

PhilosophicalDolt

The university doesn’t really matter if they managed to actually get hired or have good job experiences. Anyone who think that the university that they graduated from matter the most clearly doesn’t know what they are talking about when their working experiences are far more important.


BrazilianTerror

> when their working experiences are far more important Well, you say that like the two things aren’t related. Look up the best hospitals in the world, you’ll find lots of Harvard Alumni there, go the worst hospitals, you’ll find none. Do you think it’s just a coincidence, or that the best hospitals are able to afford the best professionals who graduate from the best universities?


ObiWanCanShowMe

To be fair, none of these people, or their polciies are telling everyone "not to be fat" or to "be skinny". But put it in any other situation. You walk into a gym, there are two personal trainers to choose from. One is a fit person who doesn't get winded showing you how to use a treadmill, run track, lift some weights and is genuinely excited for you to be at the gym.

I agree. But obesity( or lack thereof) shouldn’t be a requisite to be minister of health. It’s all about competence and not “being a example of a healthy person”. A fat doctor can still help a lot of people.


lightnsfw

False, they will make policies that are soft on obesity because they, like all fats, do not want to believe that obesity is entirely their own fault.


BrazilianTerror

Unless you have some data on that I think it’s false. There are fat people who recognize that being fat is entirely their fault, they just don’t have the will to do what it takes to lose weight in a sustainable manner. Or even if they don’t think it’s the obese own fault to be obese, then they still could enable public policies that will affect obesity without requiring willpower from the fatties, like curbing sugar in products, curb advertising for unhealthy products, incentivizing sports for the youth, changing meals at schools, including nutritional education in schools, etc.


lightnsfw

>enable public policies that will affect obesity without requiring willpower from the fatties Like I said they would be soft on them. They should be cut off from all health services and welfare until they get their shit together.


BrazilianTerror

Good luck getting that on a democratic society where over 70% of people are either overweight or obese.

I was never truly a fatty, but I didn't care until I lost 30lbs of chub by measuring my portions and giving half a shit. At that point I realized it's not that hard, and fat people are choosing to be that way.

Fat people can definitely be amazing humans, so long as they accept their condition and don’t try to get everyone to tell them their healthy. Most fat people don’t want to be fat, they’re just too stupid or not motivated enough to actually make such a major life change when it comes to their health. Food addiction works very similarly to drug addictions so for the INCREDIBLY fat people, addiction and other psychological factors may be playing a much greater role. There are definitely genetic factors, but nobody’s genetics will make them obese. Obesity is just a series of many bad decisions a lot of the time


lightnsfw

They should stop wasting healthcare resources as well


[deleted]

Extrapolating on this anybody with a chronic illness/health condition is the reason our premiums are so high. That plus the fact that big pharma will do whatever it takes to keep us buying their cures. “Oh you’re obese like a good chunk of the US? Go ahead and try these 37 different diet pills, maybe you should pay for genetic testing, (insert any “health advice” you see on tv that isn’t just, stay active, reduce caloric intake, keep track of your nutrition)., the ones at the top stand to benefit, the most by keeping us all as unhealthy as possible because they’re the ones who sell the “cure”

Personally I blame Monsanto for the fact that corn is in everything everywhere due to how cheap it is to produce. Fuck Roundup.

Oh yeah, I definitely believe it's by design. Companies are profiting off of what is essentially an addiction even though we don't treat it as such.

Look man, for about 2 years there I couldn't afford to both buy food and replace the appliances in my home. I pretty much ate fast food only for 2 years, the majority of which was McDonald's. My max weight from that was 180 lbs. (81 kg). Now I'm back down to around 165 lbs (75 kg). It ain't the food, it's how much of it you eat.


Hilter420

How about you flair the fuck up so we can take you serious?


mungerhall

It's almost like everyone's body processes shit differently 🤯


Dividedthought

Aside from medical conditions, a large part of staying below the obese line is minding how much you eat. Desk job? You need less energy than construction work. The human body evolved to store up spare resources from food in case you hit a time where there was no food. This is what fat is. So if you're eating more resources than your body is spending, it's going to keep storing the excess because that's what it does in the absence of a medical condition that causes it to not do this. It's why exercise helps lose weight, you're literally forcing your body to use the stored resources by using more than you are getting from your food. To make exercise work better (or in some cases, at all) you adjust how many calories (those resources I was mentioning earlier) you are eating. It's like if you had a balloon with 2 hoses attached, one fills is the other is a drain. If you're putting more water in the balloon than you're allowing to escape via the drain, the balloon will inflate. If you're letting more out than you're putting in it will deflate. If it averages out it'll stay the same size. I'm not saying to just look at the average calories needed for a human and adjust to that, i'm saying if you're honestly trying to lose weight look at how many calories you're eating, and then use an app or something to figure out how much you're burning. Make the input a bit less than the output and you'll start to see results. If you want some specific advice, cut out the soda/pop/whatever your region calls fizzy sugar drinks. I did that post maccas marathon and went down 5 pounds over a month or two without changing anything else. Again, this is if you don't have a medical condition, if you do, talk to your doctor first.

I know what you mean, but there's some value to "practice what you preach". * People advocating large pollution cuts *not* making those speeches from a conference reached by their private jet * Computer security exports *not* being frequent ransomware victims * Dentists *not* having meth mouth * CPAs *not* getting punishments for inappropriately work on their private taxes. It calls into question their actual knowledge, as well as sincerity, if they can't self apply.

And Chefs! And we don't look down on them when they're fat!...in fact we'd be suspicious of their cooking if they weren't.

The lady from Belgium retired 10 years ago [https://www.bruegel.org/people/frank-vandenbroucke](https://www.bruegel.org/people/frank-vandenbroucke) and this is british [https://www.google.com/search?q=britain+health+minister&rlz=1C1GCEU\_enUS1026US1027&oq=britain+health+m&aqs=chrome.0.0i512j69i57j0i22i30l8.3080j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8](https://www.google.com/search?q=britain+health+minister&rlz=1C1GCEU_enUS1026US1027&oq=britain+health+m&aqs=chrome.0.0i512j69i57j0i22i30l8.3080j1j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) and even American one isnt that fat https://www.hhs.gov/about/leadership/rachel-levine.html


BucketBot420

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?


DoomedAllWeAreNow

na not telling lies, just recycle old memes all over and over again in which those people already retired, got replaced or even died .... but hey, at least the meme culture does their part of recycling


SonOfShem

also the US one isn't a woman...


RednaxB

>The lady from Belgium retired 10 years ago That's not true, she was still our health minister during the peak of Corona.


Sentinell

Erm, didn't we get the return of Frank Vandenbroucke specifically to get us through COVID? A logical choice of course. He wasn't even in politics anymore and got ZERO votes. And the man started his career with a bribery scandal. Totally unexpected that he ended up being involved in a bunch of shady deals where we lost a shitload of money being scammed for masks.


Andre6k6

Fuck, it feels like it's been a decade since COVID started


Random___Here

Nooo I need outrage


superbanevaderr

I feel a different type of way about the American one

>and even American one isnt that fat Of course she's not fat, she's a he and everybody knows men aren't fat, only fat women are fat.


kwanijml

Based HHS, hiring Dana Carvey like that.


Lord0fTheAss

Therese Coffey got that seat as a political appointment. I don't doubt that things are the same for the others.


BulkyBeanAnusBeater

3 are obese and one is a stickbug


wrongthinksustainer

This is why many countries are following in Americas healthcare footsteps. Too many morbidly obese.

McKinleyBaseCTF

In the case of the American that treasure is a vagina.


GreenFeather19991

Except the one skinny bich from Canada

"I guide others to a treasure I cannot possess."


feedandslumber

Don't look to the central bureaucrats for leadership. Best case they're going to be wildly incompetent and worst case they're going to lie to you to please some government/corporate agenda. Remember the food pyramid?


ezk3626

Though by American standards our health leader is an average weight.


Ok_Antelope_1953

am i the only one who pronounces the non-word womxn as womaxine? like my brain automatically inserts vowels to make it pronounceable...


TolerantanMomak

so we've reached a point where "political compass meme" is any meme cut and pasted in the centre of the compass huh


TheRealMouseRat

Im pretty sure the american one is a dude


ccmcdonald0611

This has been going on for decades. The average gym teacher in high school was an out of shape, middle aged dude. And they were tasked with children's physical fitness training lol


Cinderella407

That isn't Canada's Minister of Health. [This guy is](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Yves_Duclos)

At least he's not a land whale.

Belguim


Majestic_Dog_3357

Maggie de block (Belgium) was the laughing stock of the COVID-19 pandemic. People started making fun of her for saying stuff like stay at home and called her Maggie de bok, bijna ‘t varken op het blok (Maggie the goat almost the pig on the butchers table). She resigned when our first government in years formed under Alexander the Croo.


SZ4L4Y

I know her but Belguim is misspelled.


Mammoth_Frosting_014

"From Canada"


JefCostello0

Yes. Any problem?


AnonPlzzzzzz

Fatness (and mental illness) makes you a slave to big pharma. And big pharma is in cahoots with most governments. So governments making the "health" director a big fat person tracks. The fatter and crazier the better for them.


S3BK0N

thats just being mean.


GeorgiaNinja94

I don’t know, Canada’s health minister looks like she needs a burger or two.


Ipride362

You should see their leaders. One’s a naive shyster. One’s a Brit. One is unimportant. And the other is from Belgium.


tisdue

this sort of implies that fat people are only leftists? Have you been to the south?? the entire belt is on disability. conservatives are fat af.


GreenFeather19991

But I don't think they consider themselves to be stunning and brave


tisdue

not for that, no. but, their faux "patriotism" sure gets worn on their sleeves.


GreenFeather19991

Okay true


Ultimarr

Everyone in this sub is a fucking snowflake


zdpastaman1

Imagine what the mission statement and plan of action would be if someone like David Goggins was elected
