#because this works to fix the obesity epidemic but not for business regulation even though the evidence says the opposite is true

[timeisacephalopod]

Funny that every single fat person is accused of promoting obesity for simply existing- but somehow tobacco companies aren't held similarly responsible for selling a product that causes all kinds of health risks and cancers- fat people are held accountable for their "cost" to the healthcare system but never once have I heard anyone argue for shutting down tobacco companies under the grounds of promoting and glorifying cancer and only existing to sell poison to addicted customers for the sole purposes of their own profits.

Like it's very strange how little we shit on tobacco companies for doing everything we accuse fat people of down to actually costing the healthcare system money, which I doubt fat people do more than anyone else as fat people report delaying doctors visits for as long as possible to avoid weight based discrimination. I just think it's baffling that fat people face systemic oppression for existing because we think we can Individual Choice them into being thin, but we can't Individual Choice tobacco company execs into shutting down a business that exits entirely to get people addicted to cancer causing products to the point of being an ongoing public health crisis. We can't shut up about The Obesity Epidemic ™️ but them stats on tobacco deaths? Well I guess no one can be Systemically Shamed into fixing that except the smokers whom we shame via disgusting images on the back of cigarette packages. Because somehow that's how tobacco companies can be held responsible for getting people addicted to cancer causing products, acting like the customer is responsible for the company selling it.

#winters ramblings #anyway holding fat people more accountable for a puic health crisis for existing than tobacco companies for PROFITING OFF a self created #health crisis? good lord clutch your perals you cant treat companies with the same amount of accountability you expect out of individuals! #how could you ever expect international businesses selling poison to people to not do that because theyve created a health crisis? #anyway maybe if we start following fat people around making trumoet noises theyll stop being fat finally #because this works to fix the obesity epidemic but not for business regulation even though the evidence says the opposite is true #very curious that #also tobacco companies LITERALLY DID glorify smoking into making it look cool in a way fat people could never #fat people have never been regulated into not selling weight gaining agents under the guise of purposefully getting people Super Fat #and Addicted to Weight Gain Product that also causes a billion cancers even if people are in the same room as the SMOKE of the product #like fat people simply are not glorifying or promoting anything by saying maybe you should fucking hate yourself #if youre not stick thin. self hatred is NEVER beneficial for mental health and shitting on fat people DOES NOT HELP #study after study has shown making people feel like shit about themselves shockingly does not lead to self improvement #can i say anything positive at ALL about tobacco companies? no because they ACTUALLY DID what we acuse fat people of #they purposefully ran misinfo campaigns on the saftey of their product and denied second hand smoke camcer claims #until they literally could not do so any fucking more and they STILL arent held as responsible for the damage their products #cause to public health- their CUSTOMERS are held responsible for that #strange that regulatijg everything about fat people despite the evidence that it DOESNT WORK isnt a good enough reason #to abandon that method and company regulation is ALSO eildly sucessful but thats not good enough evidence to adopt it #i wonder if thats because Certian Political Beliefs in Power are protecting themselves frim any real systemic change #in an effort to preserve their wealth and power 🧐🧐
