Aren’t you doing that just now? All I was explaining is that obesity isn’t tied to financial status since (if you read) there are low cost food options both healthy and unhealthy. I don’t think obesity is linked to medical malpractice, and I’ve never said so. You just assume I think that because of your failure to read. However, “the sort of families that are curbed by costs” are not forced to eat cheap junk, therefore would be taking extensive measures to compensate with other substances because of their own idea on how medicine works, not because they’re poor. Assuming these “healthier” foods even did matter in terms of weight loss, and people purchase weight loss pills to combat their obesity because “I can’t lose weight because i can’t afford healthy options” then they’re stupid. They could save that money and use it to purchase some healthier foods with it instead. Plus, most low income families that can’t even afford food usually qualify for government aid, or food stamps. Even then, you don’t even need “healthy” food to lose weight. Just lower calorie consumption. The less you eat, the less you have to buy, and that’ll save you money anyway so that’s why I don’t agree that finances have anything to do with it.
If you are at a healthy body weight because you don’t eat too many calories even if your diet is crap, you probably won’t have as severe symptoms of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or whatever and thus don’t require immediate healthcare due to you having occurrences such as gallbladder stones, kidney disease, hyperlipidemia that are partially due to you eating too much fat, sugars, and cholesterol in your foods that your body can’t process quick enough and require urgent attention and money.
So someone who’s “curbed by costs” would probably be on the thinner side since they would have to ration smaller portions instead of someone who can afford to pay for 3 pizzas and have each of their 3 kids have 3-5 slices. Meanwhile a poorer family who can barely afford one has to split their 8 slice pizza between 3 kids and themselves. (less calories per person)
Even if finances were linked to how healthy of food you can get, you don’t need healthy foods to maintain a healthy body weight. Because you don’t eat as much, and your organs aren’t surrounded in fat due to your obesity, you will have less of an issue with diseases caused by overeating and bad diet. Not saying you shouldn’t watch what you eat, but that if your goal is weight loss… its not necessary for weight loss, so you can still eat foods you enjoy and not gain weight.
If you read further, you’d see that there are healthy, cheap options that prevent diseases from even happening.
Since obesity is linked to disorders like insomnia, being less overweight helps you get more restful sleep, since you are able to enter deep sleep and your body can heal. As Ayeziza said, sleep is helpful in maintaining your weight, for many reasons. Your cognition is better (helps you make better dietary decisions for example), you feel less stressed when you’re not sleepy, and your body is able to heal during sleep.
Since you’re not overweight, you can sleep better, and due to those two things you are less stressed (one stressor like worrying about your body image and health as much is eliminated, and you become less stressed because you get better sleep) Reversely, the less stressed you are, the better you’ll sleep as well, so in a way it also comes full circle. Would someone who gets good sleep and has low stress be more or less likely to resort to drinking substances with caffeine to keep them awake during work vs someone who is more stressed and doesn’t get good sleep? If you thought the more stressed, and sleep deprived person then you are right. Caffeine in moderation is okay, but too much can affect your health negatively.
There are other sources of stress of course, but neither obesity or malpractice have anything to do with those since something like not being able to pay rent doesn’t force you to compensate with other substances either, since you probably can’t afford them in the first place if you can’t pay rent.
What does that have to do with obesity? Nothing.
Did I ever say it was because of malpractice? Put on your glasses and lets read this together.
If you cared to read my other posts you’d find out why I said what I said but again, you reply to things and don’t read them fully and then accuse me of doing the same to you. Isn’t that hypocrisy? And then you go on and say its all fabricated anyway so idk.
But go off dude, everything you claimed I was doing in that other thread you’re now doing here, also derailing this thread to protect your precious ego. I hope its worth it.
Idk why you’re so pressed about what I said just because it explained a smaller part of your post which was probably the only thing I disagreed with and didn’t feel like I needed to address the rest, since later on you only spoke of people’s lack of information and how the current system makes big pharma richer.
You’ve shown me now that you love to claim others do certain things, but are oblivious to what you do yourself. I simply disagreed with you, explained why I disagreed, and you took it as me cherry picking and used that to make 90% of your post attack me for things going on in other threads, hence derailing this one. Weren’t you just calling me out for doing that? Now you’re doing it here? That’s why I call you a hypocrite, but you just fail to see it and would rather say I’m fabricating things to discredit my claims of your hypocrisy.
Am I going to have to hear about my behavior in every other thread after every new post I create or how long are you going to do this? If I didn’t know any better I’d say you must enjoy trying to make others look stupid. Its sad.
