Bedlam, balance, BMI, and the dangers of being “The Best”
Well as usual we are solving all the problems this week. We talk mercury retrograde, medical advocacy, being a good patient, and why you want to be the dumbest person in your family.
I referenced this podcast in this episode: You're Wrong About: The Obesity Epidemic
this episode did stir up a lot of dust in discussion groups online, which I think just highlights the fact that people still think fatness is the worst thing in the universe that you can be. His stats are interesting, although not cited and phrased like a skilled statistician. But what this episode does well is point out how the medical *INDUSTRY* sort of created it's own point of fixation and hatred, and that the American lifestyle and poverty cycle, and lack of health care, and ongoing fat bias, only make things worse. Diets don't work. If you're a young person listening to this and you're already on the diet roller coaster, please get off! the 20 pounds you think you need to lose are going to put you on a lifetime obsession with it and that 20 pounds will eventually be 100 and you'll have diabetes not because you're fat, but because of the weight cycling. Just love yourself and your 20 pounds and go live a beautiful life!!!
aaaaanyway....
