There are so many health problems with obesity. There are some who would try to tell you it’s all a government conspiracy to be prejudiced against obese individuals. But if you have ever been obese, you know it’s not healthy, you know you’re not healthy and frankly the side effects whether social or medical are not pleasant. It’s not just the statistics. You have experienced it yourself. So while it may seem more convenient in some ways to stay in denial, you have to face realities. There are some skinnier people yes who suffer from type 2 diabetes. But the vast majority are obese, and frankly obesity is often associated with bad diet and lack of exercise. And there’s also the fact that quite frankly, many people actually recover from type 2 diabetes by using a good diet and exercise plan and losing weight. Sleep apnea, I’ve never seen in someone who was not obese personally speaking, and most haven’t, I’ve never even heard of one. High blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart disease can be aggravated by genetics. But they are most commonly associated with obesity. So while you can stick your head in the sand and insist it’s all a government conspiracy, it’s better just to look it up and think about it.
