Food policies are political and decided by government. Healthcare access and rights, insurance policies, and much more are also affected. Food is political. Health is political. So yes, it makes sense to talk about these things and remind folks to vote. That’s all.✌🏽

Suicide is VERY real in the Black community. I know it feels like a tough thing to talk about but if we don't talk about it more, people will continue to feel alone. EVERYONE please drop mental health resources in this thread, including local ones. Please share.

This is a perfect summary of why diets don’t work from @thefatdoctoruk

“Fat actors deserve to work and embody roles that reflect the experiences of their lives, and fat people deserve to see themselves onscreen”—Great piece in Cosmopolitan

Love this article about how processed foods shouldn’t be demonized and can be part of a well-rounded diet. Thank you thenutritiontea for writing this!

In an acute visit, a patient seemingly out of nowhere said, “I know my weight is probably affecting this too.” I paused, “Actually, I don’t think this problem has anything to do with weight so I wasn’t going to bring it up, but I also don’t see weight as an indicator of health.”

How it started How it’s going

From the article: "The US lacks universal health care and has higher caloric intake, more guns, more drugs and higher rates of child poverty, among other differences." But sure, let's just keep blaming the food edition.cnn.com/2023/06/01/hea…

I need people to understand that "ob*sity-related" diseases are diseases that people of all sizes get, that get called "ob*sity-related" when fat people have them. Also, they are also typically weight-cycling-related diseases and weight-stigma- related diseases.
