You're having this conversation as if I'm against having honest conversations with your loved ones.

Actually this conversation is about what is an effective intervention for our obesity epidemic, and there's pretty much zero evidence that "tell the fats they're making a huge mistake in the bluntest terms" is a meaningful intervention at any scale that matters.



OK well if they are disgustingly obese, gross, and dying of being fat, which is 100% preventable by not eating a ton of gross shit, then looking them straight in the eye and saying "You are not only an unattractive obese blob but also about to die" sometimes works


You should publish a study on this breakthrough! The medical community would love to hear about your strong evidence for success.
