RFK Jr. Slammed For Apparently Fat Shaming Americans

Fat shaming the individual is really bad because the person already knows he/she is fat and hates it. Embarrass him/her and he/she will likely later take comfort with more food, most likely junk/unhealthy food.

But pointing out that Americans are as a society much heavier than is healthy and much sicker than the populations of other developed countries and a lot of developing countries mainly because of our American diet is the responsible thing to say, do, use policy to address. And it is high time that we did address it. Hidden poisons/toxins in our food supply should be banned. No mandates for any group, but keep pushing what we know is good for us based on the BEST SCIENCE AVAILABLE and not on any small study done for some students PhD dissertation came up with.

I am not a professional dietician but have had to learn a LOT about dietary concerns because of the plethora of dietary program among people who are often at our table for meals. And I get sick and tired of those who put out information to 'avoid nightshade' vs those who recommend the nightshade veggies, avoid coffee vs a cup or two of coffee in the mornings has health benefits for many, avoid all saturated fat vs some saturated fat is necessary for complete health etc. etc. etc.

I would like our government, if it is going to address the food supply at all, do so with the best possible science--as JFK Jr puts it 'the gold standard of science' rather than accommodating big business that doesn't want to clean up its act.

Normally I don't disagree with you but friends and family members of obese people should encourage them to lose weight.

Shut up Dale.

His name is Dale?

In almost eighteen years, that is by far the dumbest, most feminine response I have ever seen delivered by any member of this board.




What about that fat gut of yours?

Your avatar was a chick for the longest time. It’s natural most would assume you’re female.


He's got a point you know Dakota.
 
How is he fat shaming Americans? America as a whole is a very unhealthy country so is that truth offensive or something?
Ever watch The Biggest Loser? It was a Game show/Reality Show that put a bunch of contestants to "lose weight".

I think that trend continues...but in the REAL world.
 
No. If it was, your little buddy would be banned for doxing.

If it was a known fact he wouldn't be. He knows that my name is April and I know that his name is Jeff. JK, Samuel. :P

There is a huge difference between fat shaming and encouraging somebody to lose weight.

Honestly, I think it's our food.

I hate to say this but....in elementary school, there was the "one girl" everyone thought was SO BIG. I was friends with her, and never bullied her, but we all knew she was just different. Someone on FB posted elementary pics of my graduating class, and let me tell you...that girl is only slightly bigger than average now. She would blend right in.

This doesn't happen in a few decades just because.

It's the food.

You aren't wrong.
High Fructose Corn Syrup is one of the most fat causing ingredients processed food has. And we eat at least one processed meal every day with some HFCS in it. (There are specific reasons why it causes us to become fat)

From a loaf of bread to yogurt....it's literally in everything....including frozen chicken nuggets. Sodas? Of course. French fries? There too. Dieticians want to blame the potatoes....but it really is just the HFCS that is included in so many processed foods that causes the obesity.

Even if they're as stupid as this hippopotamus? Somewhere Gayla Peevey is like nope! This is nowhere near what I wanted for Christmas. I wonder when this video was taken and if she's still alive right now.
