Ivy League Doctors: Obesity Is the ‘New Normal’

Okay .. I"m not getting this. The Ivy League doctors, who are supposed to be at the top of their fields, are now saying that Obesity is not from personal choices and that 'eat less and move more' doesn't work. But at the same time they are saying that poor food choices and sedentary life styles cause it. Aren't they contradicting themselves?

For most people ... if you eat a bunch of highly caloric food, you get fat and if you don't move around and burn it off, you get fact. Those are personal life choices. It sounds to me like they are just making excuses for people being fat. I think I'll stick to the old school view on this - if you eat a lot and don't move around you are going to get fat. It should not be a 'new normal'. It should be something to be avoided.


Ivy League Doctors: Obesity Is the ‘New Normal’

Ivy League doctors say that obesity constitutes a new normal for Americans, classifying it as a chronic disease that requires perpetual drug intervention.

In a six-part series on Medscape, “Treating Obesity: Confronting a New Normal,” doctors from the Harvard, Yale, and Rutger medical schools made the case that obesity doesn’t stem from behavioral issues. One of the doctors, Yale School of Medicine professor Ania Jastreboff, said that the traditional understanding of eating less and exercising more had no effect on reversing or preventing obesity.

“Obesity is not a personal choice,” said Jastreboff. “For years, the advice was that our patients needed to ‘eat less and move more.’ That does not work.”

Although the doctors dismissed personal choice as a factor for obesity, the doctors blamed obesity on poor food choices. The doctors classified America as an obesogenic environment: a prevalence of highly-processed and palatable foods, sedentary and high stress lifestyles, and poor sleep. The doctors indicated that the transition to remote work and education during the COVID-19 pandemic worsened the obesogenic environment.

What could be behind this? Well the relatively recent pharmacuetical development in the next generation of weight loss drugs might offer an answer. Follow the money. Qui Bono?

That information was brought to you by the Buy-n-Large corporation. Now go drink your high calory lunch.

Yes, the self contridiction is strong with this one. Research doctors are now starting to sound like the National Electrical Code. If you look hard enough, there are many exceptions to any rule in the book.

Our bodies aren't capable of breaking down highly processed foods; maybe in 400 years they'll evolve enough to energy from poison, but I seriously doubt it.

If you look at all the environmental poisons and food additives we're overwhelmed with it's easy to see why good health is so ellusive.

Obesity is the new normal???!!!

Aye if you are a fat bastard maybe.

But you're not doing yourselves any favors.

Both longevity and lifestyle-wise.

Then there is the enormous stress obese people place on the medical establishments to consider.

You see when they are treating fat people for the multitude of maladies and ailments that befall their overly stressed bodies, they don't have the time to see other people with medical issues that are beyond their actual control.

Idk, what people find attractive these days is different from the 70s style body, the 80s heroin shiek, etc. I personally don't find "thic" attractive. Overweight fat bodies buttered and wedged into yoga pants showing off that 2lb camel toe. Personally makes me nauseous but there are overweight girls my daughters age who embrace people like lizzo and figure hey if it's in style or demand, then they don't have to give a crap about the health effects of being a disgusting fat body.

"fat shaming" isn't right, but "fat embracing" is wronger in my opinion.

The first is shaming the people that lack self control (medical issues excluded)

The second is embracing the people that lack self control.

We should embrace people that have self control, not the other way around.

Job security. They're just going with the flow like they did with the vaccination campaign.

Plus, (pun totally intended) the rates of fatso's is too high to ignore anyway. Mississippi alone is practically concave under the stress of their ballooning population.

The junk food peddlers and big pharma do not want to lose their 'consumer cattle'.

And that is the end all of it all.

Money money money. The longer they can prolong the problem or the illness, the more money there is to be made from it. Fix it or cure it and the gravy train dries up.

If Obesity is now "normal", why is Southwest Airlines giving people an extra seat for free, if they "identify" as weighing 550 pounds, or more?

Soft way of admitting it's something outside normally human function and not exactly the food in its self

I'd have to ask what role does plastic play every last thing we eat sits in plastic from the time of harvest tell consumption

But we they can't really say that can they

But don't worry, there will be plenty of profit made from pharmaceuticals that keep you thin while you are using the drugs. So, keep stuffing that processed food in the ole pie hole.

And so is Heart Disease I Reckon .........I am Now Convinced the " Medical Profession " has been Coopted by the Globalists to go Along with their Plans of Population Reduction . It's All out in the Open Now,.........

It's all connected to DEI / "woke" agendas, imo.

Fat acceptance, gender/race swapping in media, the trans indoctrination, etc.

It's all too all over the place and coordinated to be natural evolution of culture/society, IMO. It's a guided conditioning.

I shopped at Walmart yesterday and 98% of the women there were fat. Fat women everywhere. Fat, fat, fat!

American women are FAT!

You must have been in the full-fat aisle.

All I know is that calling obesity NORMAL is not right. And saying that it has nothing to do with life choices, while at the same time calling the life choices people make the reason for obesity MAKES NO SENSE. This is what comes out of the Ivy Leagues as good doctoring? Pffft.
