yeah, if only we lived in an age where medication made it possible for people with medical problems to treat them and live a normal life. But alas, that’s not our fate. So sad.
maybe if you as a society started actually being healthy and stopped eating until your heart has to pump with the power of a dozen hydraulic pumps just to circulate your blood we could actually be finding treatments for people that have such medical issues and help them. Instead of telling ourselves that comforting people who have to use pythagoras’ formula to calculate where their legs are because they can’t look down anymore somehow helps those with diseases, we could actually find cures for them.
And yes, they do impact me. They unnecessarily clog up hospitals taking up vital resources and costing a lot of money, more than smokers (fun fact: Thanks to the high taxes on cigarettes nad their early deaths, smokers are cheaper on the health service than even normal people). Infrastructure also suffers as it needs to be designed around fat people. And we’ve all been unable to sit on a bus while a fat person takes up an entire row for themselves.
Don’t lie to yourself. Obesity is a problem and it’s manmade. Deep down you know this. If liberalism means that a person is allowed to overeat as much as they want with no regard for how they’re burdening society and those around them, then it also means that I’m allowed to make fun of you for being fat with no regard for how I’m “burdening” them.
