To be fair, I believe their intention is: AIDS as a gay disease is a false association as diabetes is to obesity, in a very broad context. This is definitively true in the same manner that dementia is to seniors or school is for children. Of course their statement has big problems The best part of that statement is the self-serving ignorant bias. Break it down fully, this whale is saying that we know that all people with diabetes are not guaranteed to be obese (Type I, or people dealing with the disorder). This is objectively true, diabetes does not guarantee the association of obesity. The whales trust the research into this field, which everyone should. When the reverse is examined, well "that is just fat-shaming". We know obesity is a huge risk for diabetes (I somehow can't find a Trump "Huge" soundbite, what is this world coming to? I know your minds can play one though, let that echo across your neurons. Huge. Huuuuuuuge.). Your odds of diabetes are 7.26x if you are obese. So the science behind the distribution of diabetes in a population is solid science, but the exact same information and processes applied to obesity is fat-shaming.  Shamus only go one layer deep, the fat blocks all penetration.
