Yep, this is akin to: “Depressed? Just say no.” “Depressive thoughts cannot legally enter your mind if you don’t have them.”

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.

All things that are certainly achievable if we all take responsibility for community health instead of wailing on individuals.
