Ah. So I guess all those anorexics who die just aren’t doing it right.

Holy fuck. And folk think us FA types are deluded.

I know Kate did and she had a great response. [...]

“The cause for obesity in everyone is the same,” said Dr. Samuel Klein, director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. “You eat more calories than you burn up; You can’t get away from that basic law of physics.”

See, y’all, it really IS that simple, a doctor said so! (huge eye roll)

Note the establishment researchers peddling the “laws of physics” and “we don’t want fat people to stop feeling guilty” nonsense.

One of my professors fully believed in the 2005 revise of the dietary guidelines aka ‘my pyramid’. and NONE of the compulsory textbooks or reading material i’ve encountered EVER question the safety of such products as splenda or aspartame. Because the FDA approved it. They love us and would never hurt us.
It’s insane. And there’s good ole’ Walter Willett at the helm, being upheld as the pinnacle of health and scientific genius.

Scary. And if I had a BMI under 21, I’d be a walking skeleton! If Dr. Willett knew my real BMI, his head would probably explode.
