I am really fucking tired of hearing "OBESITY IS A RISK FACTOR!!1!1!" without the context that it often is because of iatrogenic factors.

In other words, being fat is a risk because doctors treat fat folks like shit.
I even just read an article that talked about how being fat was associated with having an untreated, undiagnosed underlying condition.

YOU KNOW WHY THAT IS?
Because when you are fat and go to the doctor, even with clear symptoms of something, most of the time? The doctor diagnoses you as fat and tells you to lose weight.
So no, it is not my weight putting me at risk.

It's doctor's bigotry.

Let's name the ACTUAL risk factor.
