I understand where you are coming from, and generally agree with you.........BUT.......
There are some of us skinnies that have the opposite problem, we are unable to gain no matter how well or poorly we eat. In October of ‘06 I was told to put on at least 20 pounds. I put on 6 within 6 weeks, which was a great start, or so I was told. I still weigh the same as I did then, more than a year later.
Many of us skinnies sympathize because of the opposite problem. Unfortunately there seem to be nearly as many who don’t understand a problem like mine as there are who don’t understand yours.
I can see your point of view. My skinny daughter would like to put on a few, but can’t. What she especially hates is that she knows people look at her and think “anorexic”. But she’s not. She doesn’t have that emaciated or wasted look. She was born that way and hasn’t changed since. I have baby pictures of her and all you see is arms and legs. 21 “ long and 7 pounds. It’s always be 90% for height, and 10% for weight. She made it up to 50% just before she started walking. Once she walked that was over for good.
However, being skinny is still more socially acceptable than being fat. Doctors generally don’t ride skinny people about their blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, etc. They’re not condemned for the burden they put on the health care system even though they may have all those problems anyway.
I’m willing to donate a few....
