Ideal doc: “Look, your obesity is impacting your other health issues. Let’s treat them but dropping a few pounds would help too. Here are some resources to help you eat better and get some more exercise.”

Real doc: “You’re fat, that’s why you’re sick. Lose weight and you won’t be sick. No, I won’t prescribe anything.”

Yeah, but there's a difference between someone who is severely overweight due to poor diet and lack of physical activity, and someone who just has a slower metabolism and leads a healthy lifestyle. Doctors often don't make that distinction, which leads to fatter people having consistently worse health outcomes, even when controlling for the increased health risks of being overweight.

In lots of cases, they'll just tell the patient to lose weight even if they aren't actually unhealthy in a weight-related way, which is useless if you happen to be fat and have literally any health problems besides being fat (to the extent that that is a health problem, which varies from individual to individual).

dehumanizing obese people for correlating issues isnt a good thing

I'll leave this here...

rofl good job being part of the problem... Actual asshole.

yea clearly thats what the commenter said /s

Nope. Totally wrong. Not only are your assumptions about how healthcare discussions go extremely wrong and presumptive, but fatness IS NOT as big of a health inxicztor as you think!!

Someones' fat content in their skin is NOT an indication of even cardiovascular health.

For an extreme example, see sumo wrestlers. They're fat, but many of them could kick the shit out of you or me without breaking a sweat.
