I guess OP has never heard of eating disorders.
Yep, this is akin to: “Depressed? Just say no.” “Depressive thoughts cannot legally enter your mind if you don’t have them.”
People don’t realize that overfeeding is not the real cause of the problem, but rather a consequence.
Ironically that is kind of a good way to combat depression
It isn’t only eating disorders either, there are so many conditions (and medications!) that can cause or have the side effect of weight gain, and then a ton more that don’t directly cause it but do directly make it hard or even impossible to “work” off.
Not to mention some people are just fat and they don’t need to justify their existence to anyone.
This post is ableist fatphobic bullshit.
Heed the content warnings in the video, this video is a difficult watch, but it’s really good. Thought Slime: Can I learn to love my body?
And you can’t just say no, it’s a systemic problem that could be solved with walkable cities, better public transportation, stretching breaks at work, eliminating or greatly reducing subsidies for corn and processed foods, and other stuff. We have to consider every step food takes from its source to the shelves, and all the reasons citizens aren’t able to be more active or afford foods that could better support an active life.
All things that are certainly achievable if we all take responsibility for community health instead of wailing on individuals.
