Here we can fully agree. Don't get me wrong. I'm not against "fat shaming". I merely stress the difference between body fat percentage and BMI. One matters, the other doesn't.

Body positivity movements are... Well... Cancer. Making people feel comfortable that they have 40% body fat is not a good thing, and encourages an unhealthy population. On the flipside, shaming someone for being "overweight" when they're lean as a whipcord is stupid as well.

As with Matt pulling a stupid earlier by claiming only 31% of Americans are healthy based on BMI statistics, when according to those same statistics, only 33% of Australians are "healthy" my only intent was to stress the point that no doctor judges their patient by BMI. BMI isn't a "health indicator" outside the extremes.

And 100% agree on the universal healthcare bit. Especially with "body positivity" movements and other such that actively promote unhealthy lifestyles, the complete lack of any tax or control measures for sodas and other harmful overly consumed products... Universal healthcare, as a concept, would simply be another step towards bankrupting the US taxpayer.

people are fat, people are stupid, so putting the two together people need to be told in the simplest terms that they're fat.

height and weight are about as easy of a way to do this as you can dream up. tell the average walmart customer how unhealthy they are with blood sugar readings, body fat content, an eco result on their heart, and anything else and they'd get so lost that they just wander back over to the coke fridge and drink away the sensation of thought with sugary goodness.

some day there will be a full body scanning machine, you walk in, scan, you walk out. and on the other side it will have a green check mark and a red x. because if it spit out an actual diagnostic most people wouldnt climb in.

Depressing thought. "Idiocracy wasn't a movie, it was a well-modeled prediction of the future."

robots are replacing humans as the form of production. eventually only the rich will be smart enough to do anything but consume Netflix in a govt provided apartment where a box of food rations shows up each month.

im not one for the whole Democrat ran New World Order, but the end result is closer to that than what most people think is our future.

Automation is going to burn the world as we know it to the ground, and the cattle that are left in human form will sign up to have their reproductive organs disabled for an extra govt stipend.

100 years? maybe more. but my children and their children will know how to produce food of their own on land we own to avoid becoming just another meat sack who's line ends.

ya thats why he pushed for socialized medicine.

When did that happen? Because Obamacare is definitely not socialized medicine.

lol what was it then?

Lets make sure we're talking about the same thing. Can you define what "socialized medicine" means when you say it?

already doin the dodge huh

Agreeing on definitions is the first part of any constructive conversation. If you have a weird definition of socialized medicine then its possible we don't actually have a disagreement.
