Why doctors hate fat people

Perhaps I've put it wrong. It should be, why doctors really, really, really hate fat people.

It seems stupid. Any doctor with half a brain knows that diets don't work. The studies are clear. But, medical professionals can't help themselves from seeing that:
  • half of all health problems are "voluntary" (caused by either fat or cigarettes).
  • fat makes everything, everything, a doctor does more difficult in ways that they don't get to charge extra for.
Doctors think fat people are stealing from them (forget the monopoly of the AMA, the price fixing and the raw greed and harm to the public health that doctors have engaged in historically).

Nurses just know that fat people are career enders -- more nurses end up with career ending injuries from treating fat people than any other cause.

But next time you think your doctor is hostile to you because you are fat, you aren't reading anything into things. Doctors hate fat people, irrationally so, to the extent that all they do is prescribe diets that make the situation worse (crash diets and rebounding will make you gain weight), surgery that has a history of failing and exercise programs that will make you eat more as your body adjusts.

They do all these stupid things because they hate you so much they can't think straight and honestly do something about the issues.

Which is why the SLD was invented by a PhD and not an MD. And why doctors are pushing expensive programs that don't work for fat people instead of the SLD that does. They hate you and want money from you, rather than want to help your health.

Read Good Calories, Bad Calories (read here and here) and ask yourself if the doctors are really that dense or if they are intentionally pushing a diet they know makes the situation worse. Which one makes them more money?

If no one in America were fat, every household would pocket an extra $4,270 a year.

And that money pocketed out of circulation not being spent would destroy our economy. Entire retail chains that provide quality foods would shrivel up without adequate resources to reach all the fringe areas and civilization as you know it would crumble apart.

Not to mention there would be no one to carry your furniture or other large parcels at no extra compensation than your own skinny ass. Hello tiny man with back injuries the new plague on America! Spine just snaps like a twig its just like cracking a wishbone! I guess they are right when they say "spineless coward" to describe assholes with inferiority complexes.
