Healthcare is not a right!?

isn’t that a bit like saying people cannot do much about their financial situation. some people just want to buy stuff more.

just because you’re hungry for stuff, or food, doesn’t mean you act on it. Of course anyone could simply eat less (or spend less) … and they would weigh less or have more money.

it’s true it does come more naturally for some pople. but isn’t it all self-reinforcing. when you’re hopelessly in debt, why not charge it. when youre hevay and lethargic, why bother to walk across the parking lot?

It’s well known that a malfunctioning thyroid can be a cause of obesity. There’s also medical evidence that supports the position that people really can’t do much about their natural weight — it is predominately determined by their genetic metabolism. Of course anyone could simply eat less, but I have no doubt that obese people genuinely feel more hunger than those with average weight.

If that’s true then why are the US Pima Indians suffering an obesity and diabetes epidemic while the Mexican Pima aren’t? Genetically they are about as close as two groups of people can be. Looks like it’s the food and activity levels, at least according to the study I linked to…

i think it’s pretty obvious that if TSHTF and there was little food available and people survived by moving around a lot and scavenging, there would be zero obesity. none. zilch. It’s clearly not just determined by metabolism and genetics. where you are, what you do, what’s available, what’s socially acceptable, not only matters — it drives everything…

maybe it just depends on what you mean by “a natural weight”. it seems like what it’s come to mean is, given access to as much processed food you want of the type you’d want, and given the option to exercise or move as much or as little as you’d like, what would you “naturally” do. i would suggets that there sis no way to view any of those states is “natural” in any meaningful kinda way and any weight assicated with this bountiful state of affairs cannot in any way said to be natural or inevitable.
