The L.A. Times piece is essentially a list of stories about how women were disappointed that they were asked to do nude scenes, Franco was annoyed, rinse and repeat.

You are assuming that there is a grocery store accepting EBT that offers acceptable choices. Many poor communities with obesity problems have few choices in terms of food. They live in food deserts. Gas stations take EBT but can you get healthy food there? Nope. It is truly difficult just to FIND food even if you can…

THANK. YOU. The Broadway dancer who lost his leg, than his life? Was in terrific shape. Many young and healthy people are stroking out due to this virus. Good diet and exercise are important but they aren’t marks of virtue that makes the virus pass you by.

Plus the intimation that POCs are simple, childlike creatures who simply don’t know better than to eat McDonald’s three times a day.

You can buy frozen vegetables at the Dollar Tree. The idea that these items are only available at “luxury grocery stores” is asinine.

No one, including Kelly, is denying that obesity is a risk factor. 

Ahhh yes, wiser food buying choices....like $6 asparagus water!

This attitude is precisely why so many of MY patients waited and continue to wait too long to receive care, often for things that would increase their success in achieving healthier habits. Can you tell me where the time and money comes from for these visits? Also, what about the millions without insurance? Food…

The article isn’t suggesting that obesity isn’t a comorbidity. It’s saying that structural, systemic issues help lead to obesity. People love unhealthy food all over the world. Why is the situation worse in the U.S.? The CEO of Whole Foods is blaming the individual. Kelly is only pointing out that no one lives in a…

Is it true that being obese leads to a higher risk of mortality from COVID? Yes

OMG he really did say that. It is the most offensive thing in an extremely offensive interview. 

The point isn’t that obesity is a risk factor - the point is that the Whole Foods CEO has absolutely no right to make the point and blame obesity on the people who have it. The fault (in the vast majority of cases) is not theirs, it’s on the systems that have made fresh food and healthcare unaffordable and…

People who say, “French fried potatoes” instead of just “french fries” are 100% serial killers.

My family was working poor, and we were even on food stamps for several months at one point, despite two parents working allegedly good full-time jobs.

“Look, virtually nobody is getting sick from this. Just the fat, the poor, the old, those people that have ever been previously ill, the young, tall people and short people, a couple dogs. Pretty much nobody is getting it! We should in no way change our behavior or attempt to mitigate this plague.”

respect my rights and no one else’s

Yeah, I don’t get that last bit there. I don’t begrudge Michelle Obama anything she’s done after being our first African American First Lady. The amount of shit slinging thrown at her for the simplest of things, (like *gasp* trying to get American kids to eat a little better), the racist memes, the outright hostility…

So, because Michelle Obama published a bestselling book about her life and made money from doing said work, she’s not allowed to feel depressed -ever- for anything and we have to hate her now and HOW DARE SHE SPEAK?  I am sure you, as a writer, are looking forward to the day you, too, publish a bestselling book and…

My place of work has pulled that bullshit of calling us a “family” a couple of times as well. I’m tempted to ask if they mean that more in the Mafia or in the Manson sense of the term.

I’m white and I didn’t find the title offensive, actually found it kinda humorous. any white person who is “turned off” by that probably wasn’t coming to the right side anyway
