“OBESITY” Ouch!
If the word OBESITY hurts, that’s because you associate it with the stigmatization that it carries. That stigma is due to ignorance, ignorance from the general population and even the medical profession. Let me liberate more than one third of the American population and tell you, it’s not your fault. Blame genetics, our fast paced world with not enough time, and too much refined (fake) food, trauma, your environment, and a whole bunch of other things. Sadly, excess weight hasn’t been recognized as a health condition, (and a treatable one at that) by most. The AMA didn’t recognize obesity as a medical diagnosis until 2013, and still it’s naively often coded as “obesity due to excess calorie intake”. I’m betting many reading this have been told to lose weight, “just eat less and exercise more”. It’s not that simple and you know it. If it were, we wouldn’t have a national epidemic of overweight.
