cw for weight/body image, of course
Usually discussions about this get overrun by chuds so I think it'd be nice to hear what people here have to say.
Personally I think it's some good and positive ideas but they're mixed in with potentially harmful medical misinformation.
I'm kind of with you. there's of course a couple of real negative health outcomes of having too much body fat, but for the vast majority of people - including probably the majority of all people that Western medicine would call "obese" - are just fine at their current weight and don't need medical assistance. Also body shaming is literally never an acceptable solution for any problem or reaction to any action.
But the bottom line is regardless of size and shape, solidarity with ALL of our comrades :red-fist:
Of course I'm with you on the body shaming aspect, but what makes you say
?
Having an unhealthy amount of fat can't be determined by a ratio of weight to height. Having an unhealthy amount of fat can't even be determined by body composition testing and finding body fat and muscle percentages by mass. The only way to know if someone has too much body fat is to take a holistic approach and evaluate their health concerns as they arise, finding root cause for all complaints and diagnoses, whether that may be body fat amount or something else.
Almost like how every other health condition is or should be diagnosed :thinkin-lenin:
