  • You’re being purposely obtuse. If you believe addiction is a disease, then overeating is also a disease. We have drugs and research guided methods to help deal with both. If its cruel to force addicts to quit cold turkey, then its also true of forcing clinically overweight patients to entirely change their lifestyle. (All the while being vocally judged and mocked)

    Most of these people have tried losing weight through diet and exercise and want to get better, but as the other commenter has mentioned, their mind and body works against them. That’s also ignoring the societal conditions pushing us all to calorically dense, quick-n-easy meals and a working schedule that doesn’t allow us much free time to exercise.

    As a disclosure, I am 6’0" and 200lbs. Down 30lbs from 3-4 years ago using strictly diet and exercise. BUT I’m also an athletic trainer and my office is in a gym I can use for free.








  • I appreciate the nuanced info. It’s pretty tough to find when discussing religion on platforms like this. It helps logical people trapped by corrupted religious beliefs realize that its okay, even encouraged, to keep their core beliefs intact while still being able to condemn those within their religion that work to corrupt the church.

    If all you see is church/religion bad, then they’ll just dismiss you and move on. And the corrupt version of Christianity or Islam or Judaism or what have you will continue growing
