HaMDs represent a dangerous conflict of interest HaMDs (Ham Medical Doctors) are dangerous, most particularly due to a conflict of interest: whereas fat is rightfully scorned within  much of the  the health and/ or medical communities, there exists a non-negligible population of ham doctors, or HMDs. HaMDs represent a conflict of interest due to the intersection of fee-fees and scientific & medical data: what's to stop a HaMD from putting its hoof of approval on nonsense FA pseudoscience -- especially if there are monetary incentives? Even if fats are lazy about being fat, they channel that energy into excuses or diversions. Be wary of HaMDs!
