it is intriguing how hefty (or cigarette smoking) health professionals are difficult tot ake seriously on those issues. Not sure why. If Johnnie Cochran was an embezzler, and you needed legal advice, you’d not hold his criminality against him — indeed, it could be a selling point if he were successfully getting away with it. if fat really were purely genetic, not the result of choices, then we wouldn’t ahve any negative reaction to a heavy doctor giving advice on obesity, just like we wouldnt lift an eyebrow to an amputee doctor giving advice on how to live without legs. But it’s unlikely that anyone could take seriously a doctor telling you that you gotta quit smoking while he’s puffing away, or to change your diet when he can’t fit through the door. Kinda like how it’s difficult tot ake financial advice froma lot of people, for personal failures, even if the advice is perfectly valid.
