It's another symptom of alienation. People try to reclaim agency by acting out against what seems to fall out of control of industry and media. America is an urban, developed society so things like raw milk and meat only diets seem both authentic and transgressive. There is a certain level of glamour to these things because they are out of sight for most almost all their life, even if they buy their raw milk in a carton and their meat prepackaged in a grocery store.

It's impressive what the collective human effort can accomplish when enough people put their minds and will to it.

I have stopped eating basically anything packaged, cutting few things out first and over time practically all of it. It wasn't an especially conscious effort even, I feel like I might have fallen out of test groups because I don't even particularly enjoy those foods now even as massive sweet tooth. Maybe it was because I became more aware of the contents and ingredients of food and stopped making the associations I once made.

I definitely agree that it's a topic that's overpoliced and there are certain unhealthy behaviors that are glorified. In particular I have been myself tired and critical of all the health influencer and social media information peddlers who specialize over health topics while being sensationalist and seem to made with aim of making people panic. In particular, bodybuilders and weightlifters being such an extensive part of this when it is precisely those that can promote behaviors that are unhealthy both mentally and physically is something I came to greatly dislike recently with my observation that so much information and advice regarding self-care being monopolized by lifters who may or may not be on substances not to even mention crooks and grifters selling things like carnivore diets and what not.

However it seems that there is an argument being made specifically that being overweight is not the cause of certain health complications ascribed to it, which I'll try to look up now.

Thank you. I am assuming her books also go over this topic? I tend to prefer reading over either listening or watching to acquire information for educational purposes and leave podcasts for entertainment only. I'll specifically check the books.

I understand being overweight is a systematic and structural situation, I understand everyone is free to possess their body in whichever form they are comfortable in and nobody should receive unsolicited advice or unrequired criticism regarding their bodily autonomy, I understand at every turn there are circumstances beyond one's own control and responsibility regarding weight and weight loss. I also understand that it can be difficult to diet and exercise even if one is actively trying to lose weight and nobody is obliged to lose weight in the first place if they don't feel they need to. I also have seen examples of institutional and medical fatphobia on top of widespread fatphobia in popular cultural and media in general. I see all the time people give unsolicited advice with personal anecdotes independent of context of the interaction and abuse fat people receive just for existing and control others try to exert over their life and their situation.

However one thing that I don't understand here is the suggestion that being overweight doesn't cause any issues at all. I am not here to judge but it seems well-researched and readily apparent that being overweight is cause for great deal of health complications and losing weight can alleviate those complications that are caused by being overweight. This again is not a disagreement that there is fatphobia in medicine where people have their issues unrelated to weight or weight loss go untreated because any health issue is simply treated as caused by being overweight and fat people don't get same attention and care regarding their health by medical personnel. I am just simply not understanding how so much research regarding complications caused by being overweight can all be false independent of that. This is regarding specifically only things which weight loss has been documented to directly alleviate and no other correlational complications which may or may not be related to one's weight.

That's cool I wouldn't date anyone who is homophobic or transphobic so clears that out immediately.

Give them some space, vacate your house if need be.

There is something very telling about Germany which patronizingly preaches about Western values and peace to Palestinians which get displaced and bombed regularly immediately have large portion of their country turn fascist as soon as there is smallest amount of societal disruption and violence, backing the party that supports the political ideology that caused said violence no less.

It also makes me respect those who suffer from some of the worst of humanity in cruelty and violence still embrace kindness and compassion first.

Compromising on legitimate issues to get a crumb of concession on other issues will only lead to sacrificing all your principles to meet fascism in the middle. Problem with leftist in Europe isn't that they don't compromise enough, problem is that they appear as single-minded by compromising too much and letting their detractors engage them on issues like Antisemitism and Trans rights. Meanwhile you can have literal Nazis in European right and its overseas supporters like court eunuch Elon cast a wide net and compromise on nothing manage to keep pushing the boundaries of acceptable and moderate fascism.

They keep inventing new types of guys all the time. My condolences to any who suffered and continue to suffer because people keep letting empty ideology poison their thoughts until they become unhinged like this.

First rule of Victoria 3 and really any Paradox game is that there are tons of data and a lot of things happening which can be overwhelming but learning the game is just filtering out what matters from a bunch of things that don't matter. More you play the more you can realize what matters so it's easier to find out what doesn't, that's all. Can't really learn it without first playing it badly.

The point is women's proletarianization and emancipation didn't happen to increase profits of the capitalist class and it certainly wasn't granted to increase profits by paying them less in factories or wherever else. It happened because of changes in material condition due to industrialization and pressure from women to have equal part in their proletarianization. Wartime conditions made that more easily possible because interests of society, state and also preservation of capitalist order triumphed short term profit motives and found social support due to reality on the ground and "home front" but that's exactly why it didn't happen to increase profits.

It is true that capitalists conceded this to prevent revolution and indeed didn't even fully concede it since a large part of unpaid labor was and still is rested on women, such as housework and child rearing or has its costs burdened by public while its profits are taken by state such as food aid, maternity aid, child benefits and other forms of welfare. However these are not because capitalists included women in labor pool to increase their profits but to cut costs of women in labor pool. Khamenei is promoting a common and false idea that women in workplace reduced the wages in general and was a ploy by the capitalists or something similar. It wasn't and it wasn't a minimalist change either.

As for profit interest, it is always short term. That's also why destroying the planet might not seem realistic but it is ultimately what is happening. In case of women, industrialization and disenfranchisement of women destroyed women's livelihoods and created conditions that allowed complete entrapment of women in households where before they were participants in if not equal. It would both figuratively and literally destroy women but that was ultimately not acceptable to society or women. That's not because of any clemency or trick by the capitalists, the trick is making people believe women are allowed to work because capitalists made it possible.
