Made an Ex-Fat Reee in a Group Project So I was chatting with my classmates on what topic we should cover for a group project and I mentioned bariatric care. Why? It's common, challenging, costly, and there's plenty of potential patients. Not to mention, the number of fats are growing meaning more strain on the healthcare system. Then I mentioned how plus-size models are also responsible for this because of what they're promoting and this is where things got ugly. So our conversations went like this. Ex-Fat: Have you been fat? SUPA FUPA: No. Ex-Fat: Then you don't know what you're talking about. I was fat and I had an addiction so I just ate less, exercised, and ate clean. I had an addiction to food before. SUPA FUPA: There you go! Bariatric patients need to be cut off from their addictions so they can focus on their therapies more! This includes cutting them off from their enabling family members! Ex-Fat: And not all plus-size models are unhealthy or even fat! SUPA FUPA: Tess Munster? Ex-Fat: Can we change the topic because the comments SUPA made are inappropriate! Uhm, hello! A group project on bariatric care would make our project much more interesting! This will grab people's attention! I didn't choose my major to cater to people's feefees because feelings do not matter if health do not matter! I put big emphasis on preventive healthcare so we can take care of actual people but nope! America has bariatric hospitals and more of them are being built! So now we have to suggest on other topics but make them as interesting as possible. Because of this, I feel like I have cut myself short because of one ex-fat pandering to the feelings of the HAES supporters. Do you want reduce readmission and cost or do you want to protect feelings? This is healthcare not retail! And because of this, I feel like there's no way in hell am I going to be able to talk about the challenges of bariatric care and what issues they address and how to solve them!
