“Explain this: A person with normal weight does not have high blood pressure or âtype 2âdiabetes.”
That is totally false.
There are many Type II diabetics who have virtually normal weight for many years, unlike most Type II diabetics, because their genetics can adequately adjust the fat burning hormones for a prolonged time before succumbing to the metabolic syndrome and weight gains.
Type II diabetics often have normal blood pressure, and no high blood pressure for decades of time. I know, because I have never had high blood pressure, and I know many more like myself who never had high blood pressure.
“The normal person then eats too much of the wrong foods and fails to remain physically active. The person then acquires high BP and âType2â diabetes.
Seems like a perfect case of cause and effect. You are a âFat Apologist.â I know, it’s much easier when you can say, âit’s not my fault, I was born that way.â”
Once again you are just digging your hole deeper and displaying your willful ignorance of the subject for everyone to see. Try listening to the story of an endurance athlete, lifelong proponent of healthy nutrition, medical physician, and the first man to ever swim the sea channel between Oahu Island and Maui Island in the Hawaiian Islands on the same day. He too ignorantly took the same myth you keep repeating and blamed the victims he was responsible for when performing autopsies, until it happened to him too. It was not until he too faced the same challenges as other people with metabolic syndrome and Type II diabetes that he realized the true nature of the disease and the lies and myths surrounding Type II diabetes was keeping people like himself from coping properly with the problem.

You seem intent on drowning out common sense with a tsunami of information that supports your need to deflect responsibility for obesity from the individual.
I am not impressed that you can find a few skinny people who have “metabolic syndrome.” It doesnt change the fact that fat people do it to themselves through poor eating habits. Just too obvious to deny.
