Can we have a serious question about U.S. health?

[I AM WE ARE]

This isn't another Lizzo thread, even though it's related. But fukk,I work healthcare and the amount of people that are bed ridden just outta pure gluttony is ridiculous
Like Sir/ma'am you'd be able to walk off you so chugging 2 liters with every meal or if you stop asking for double portions and having your family drop off meals that can feed your whole hallway. We had a LPN get walked out because she's from another country and got reported for"harassment" by her patient. When it was all said and done all she told the woman was if she went to physical therapy and cut back on sweets she'd be able to take care of herself.

Now we getting briefings etc saying to not comment on patient's eating habits or"physical limitations"

America has nearly made it a crime to talk about the wrong doings of fat people. There have been so many excuses for why they are overweight and no accountability

Bruh the sad part is people are losing limbs and literally eating themselves into the grave. Most beds aren't COVID-19 in assisted living, is just unhealthy people

they just wanted that nurse gone and used her "bedside manner" as an excuse. LPNs are allowed to assess patients.

Apparently this patient complained constantly.
I was told the same thing(I got 6 months left)

Laziness, no accountability, no restraint/self control. America is a country of over indulgence in every facet. When I was over seas, the food was more filling for some reason. The U.S. food must be extremely mineral deficient which contributes to people's over eating.

Always remember though. What you eat in private, shows in public.

The family are the enablers

I asked my mum why she allowed me to get to almost 200 lbs at one point; she said basically I kept demanding food so they would just bring it all out to me at once.

You see it in kids as well, all that BS just to get them out their face

If you thought that was extreme then buckle up your seat belts brehs because this is going to be the future:

This could have been squashed ages ago when the focus on healthy foods and better ways of living was being put out, only for CACs to hate it because it was Obama who was trying to create it . Now as the pandemic comes through wearing the 45 and the lockdowns are on the verge of possibly making a comeback. there's going to be so much dead weight to get second hand bedsores from

That's not always true. My parents never allowed me and my siblings to get big. As soon as my sister was an adult and no longer under their roof, she blew up. And when asked about her weight it comes down to she rather stuff her face than be healthy

This got me livid lol...

You're fat shaming op...fat phobia....*insert buzzword*....

We should probably be focusing on mental health. Cause, after watching 600lbs life - most - if not all are dealing with trauma, PTSD and undiagnosed mental illnesses.

In addition, we have to talk about food deserts and lack of healthy food options in certain areas.

I was just finally diagnosed with Crohns and Celiac disease. Even though, I have been eating mostly GF for years --- its still has been hell trying to find Gluten Free options and even Gluten Free pantry staples.

Luckily, I can buy them online - and some items are really expensive. I cant imagine someone on limited income and food assistance having to deal with this.

And I would put Lizzo on some Adderall.

She needs to be tested for ADHD.

Cause, she seems to be dealing with some form of it.

She seems extremely impulsive and hyper emotional. Addy will slow her brain down to make better decisions - in her life and her plate.

I bet that would get her to a healthy weight and BMI.

I bet that would get her to a healthy weight and BMI.

That would also be the end of her career. Although somewhat talented IMO, her careers is based around her being fat. Her audience doesn’t want a fine and fit Lizzo, they want an obese Lizzo walking around in a bikini putting on a Minstrel Show.

With the thread though, I eat like sh*t sometimes but to get fat takes an extreme amount of laziness.
