“In short, to say fat people live as long as thin or normal weight people is a lie.”
I will disagree with this to a point because I believe appetite greatly decreases with age and by the time we are in our 70s and 80s we often have to be convinced to eat; and when we eat this or that we have this digestive issue or that one; people tend to lose weight once they hit the 60s, 70s, 80s.
I’m not sure what you disagree with. As people age, they should reduce their weight. In many cases it happens naturally. I see, families upset with their elders because, “They’re sooooooo skinny.” Fact is, their metabolism draws down. Then heart doesn’t work as hard.
True they may be weak, and they should take nutrients and supplements, and adhere to a good diet. Walking is good for them. Yoga too, if they can tolerate it.
But well meaning family members trying to stuff them with bad carbs.
I know too, that depression reduces the appetite, but my point was to counter the nonsense that fat people live longer.
Obesity in America is a travesty. I see people at work with their big gulp diet drinks. Sipping all day. They don’t gain, they don’t lose. Their glycogen storage is never depleted so they NEVER burn up fat.
