What's the relation between weight and health?
Trick question: there isn't one.

"[H]ealth issues that get blamed on being higher-weight may actually be due to weight stigma and/or weight cycling and/or healthcare inequalities" or other "health issues might be impacting weight."

Ragen Chastain's Weight and Healthcare Substack is excellent. The posts are always informative, clear, thoughtful, short, valuable. If you are under the mistaken impression that weight correlates with health, you can begin to unlearn that prevalent misconception. If you already know that there's no relation between health and weight, you can still learn a lot about the details of GLP-1 antagonists and how they are prescribed, the bias that fat people encounter in health care settings, the actual research on weight and health. I really appreciate how consistently Chastain pursues these questions. Worth a follow, if you do the substack thing.

End of rant! Thanks to Cathy Young for kindly answering my question and giving me permission to quote her answer. #FatAcceptance #DietsDontWork #HAES #HealthAtEverySize

The #AntiScience dimension of the #HAES movement doesn't hold up well as #obesity science advances. Pretending that obesity is not a real medical problem seems out of touch with present reality. Public interest in HAES is fading as a result.

I'm looking for a popular science article from a fat-friendly writer about the rise in #obesity and how diets are lies, which mentions how lab animals have also been increasing in weight since the 60s... I've lost track of the url

I'd like to send it along with this article to people who pride themselves on "doing their own research" so they can come to some brilliant conclusions all on their own

This week's clickbait from the @washingtonpost tells us that #AntiDiet messaging they've pushed from the #HAES movement is actually a #BigFood conspiracy supported by dietitians. This reporting is so absurd as to sound like satire.

I really liked illymation’s newest video as an introduction to body neutrality and some health-at-every-size principles. She referenced one of my favorite podcasts too, Maintenance Phase.

You can't compare "obesity" to "smoking" or "cigarettes." One is a body shape. The others are an action and a product respectively. You could arguably compare certain types of food to cigarettes but even then, all food has *some* nutritional benefit, whereas there is no safe amount of smoking.

Yo mama so fat, she is far more likely to be misdiagnosed by a doctor due to weight stigma in the medical industry.

In both my Biology and Health Psych courses this week at #UoPeople, I was able to talk about Health at Every Size (#HAES) and how one-size-fits-all attitudes towards larger people tend to stigmatize larger people resulting in less willingness to reach out to health care professionals for help and reducing positive health outcomes.

Y'know those things we beat ourselves about concerning body image? Every body on a bike is free. http://bikestylespokane.com/2011/07/31/feeling-good-biking-and-self-image/ #cycling #BikeTooter #WomenBike #AllBodiesOnBikes #JustRide #BikeJoy #FatPhobia #BodyImage #fat #HAES

You can eat all the calorie free, sugar free, fat free, guilt free food and what you'll eventually figure out is what's not free is you. You're trapped in #dietculture and you're scared of peanut butter.

(By the way…if you’re allergic to PB you’re allowed to be scared of it, this isn't about that.)

Disclaimer: People will disagree with me, and those people are allowed to be wrong. Please note I do not engage with diet/health/fat trolls.
