No being obese is not healthy. It is clearly associated with many health risks. I have no idea why you would infer that I would think it is healthy from what I have said. Obesity is clearly a problem. However, to solve it, I think we should look at the mechanisms behind it and try to understand it. So, that is what I am trying to do.

Saying that something is "just fat people bullshit" is also not a good argument. Maybe we can leave the emotions and especially the anger out of it and just look at the research. You seem angry and I have no idea what I have done to you to make you angry. I just tried to discuss some research on this subject.

When you are overweight, it is not a case of just eating less. Eating less has very different physical and psychological effects for someone who is overweight than for someone who is not.

If you are interested in learning something about this, you can check out the setpoint theory of body weight. In short, the body has a setpoint for which weight it should be. If you are overweight, this setpoint is at a higher weight than if you are not. If your weight gets below the setpoint, your metabolism will slow down and your appetite will go up and the body starts to try and do everything to go back to this higher weight. That is why most people are not able to lose more than 10% of their weight in the long term. Often, when they gain the weight back, they gain back even more than they lost and the setpoint might even go up further. It is a neverending struggle for most people. Medication like Ozempic affect this mechanism so it becomes possible to lose weight.

If you want, you can find a lot of scientific papers about this. There is quite a lot of research on this and the setpoint theory is well accepted within the medical field specialised in dealing with weight problems, I believe.

In addition, Ozempic is not only a fat loss medicine. It is also used by people with diabetes to lower their glucose.

I did read the second half, but I was also thinking about other stuff by then. So my eyes read it, but it never made it to my mind. Not clear whether I have ADD, though.

Ja, dat klopt. Zelfs als het beleid dat de PVV wil niet wordt uitgevoerd, dan nog is er schade. Discriminerende mensen voelen zich gelegitimeerd en zullen dus minder bang zijn zich te uiten.

Aan de andere kant zijn anderen misschien ook wel geschrokken en meer strijdbaar om de rechten van alle mensen te beschermen. Dat hoop ik in elk geval.

Ja, ik kan me voorstellen dat dat angst oproept. Ik hoop dat het meevalt. Ik weet niet of dat het beter maakt, maar mijn steun heb je.

I have this and I have CPTSD. However, I am sure that there can be other causes as well.

I do not want my data to be monetised at all and I try to limit my use of services that do monetise my data as much as possible. This means that I try to not use Google products, for example.

In some cases, I feel forced to use it because the consequences of doing so are too high. For example, almost all my friends and family use WhatsApp. If I do not use it, I will be harder for hem to communicate with and I would miss out on a lot of stuff which happens in groups. I am not sure to what extent WhatsApp uses my data, but it is part of Meta and I do not trust Meta at all. However, in this case, access to my friends and family is more important to me. Although I am quite angry about it and I will get out immediately once there is a law that obligates messaging apps to be able to communicate with each other.

I would share my data for other uses, if it is in the interest of society. For example, I would share it for some scientific research.

Ik snap niet waarom ze überhaupt mee mochten praten. Wat is daar het maatschappelijk nut van? Het hele idee was toch verslaving tegen gaan door het uit de illegaliteit te halen? Dan hoef je volgens mij alleen met verslavingsdeskundigen te praten en desnoods communicatie-experts over hoe je mensen naar het legale circuit krijgt.

Bedankt. Jouw taal is ook schattig.
