US Salad Maker Denounced for Encouraging Weight Loss

From the Washington Post news section:

Sweetgreen CEO criticized after connecting the pandemic to unhealthy eating: ‘Incredibly fat-phobic’ By Jonathan Edwards Yesterday at 7:43 a.m. EDT
Vaccines and masks won’t save us from the pandemic, Jonathan Neman wrote, but the Sweetgreen CEO has a solution: Outlaw junk food.

Neman, whose chain of 100-plus restaurants sells salads for 10 to 15 a pop, published a LinkedIn post Tuesday suggesting that obesity is the “root cause” of health problems — including severe coronavirus infections.

“[Seventy-eight percent] of hospitalizations due to COVID are Obese and Overweight people. Is there an underlying problem that perhaps we have not given enough attention to?” he wrote, appearing to cite March Centers for Disease Control and Prevention covid-19 hospitalization data.
Neman concluded that covid will be around for the foreseeable future and therefore people have to find a way to coexist with the virus.

“We cannot run away from it and no vaccine nor mask will save us (in full disclosure I am vaccinated and support others to get vaccinated),” the Georgetown University graduate wrote. “Our best bet is to learn how to best live with it and focus on overall health [vs.] preventing infection.”

Government officials, he added, should ban or tax unhealthy food.

“We clearly have no problem with government overreach on how we live our lives all in the name of ‘health,’” he wrote. “What if we made the food that is making us sick illegal? What if we taxed processed food and refined sugar to pay for the impact of the pandemic? What if we incentivized health?”

After his remarks were published, some commenters knocked Neman for fat-shaming people, Business Insider reported.

“Yikes, this is incredibly fat-phobic,” one person commented on his LinkedIn post. “Have you considered how our healthcare system systematically underserves people who are considered to be in those groups?”

Neman deleted the post after Vice reported on it Wednesday.

This kind of idea was pretty mainstream a dozen years ago back when NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg banned Big Gulp sugary drinks at fast food restaurants.

But now it seems kind of Anti-Diversity, although I’m not sure if the fat get a full Pokemon point.

That got me wondering how much of white women’s enthusiasm for the Racial Reckoning is motivated by the view of black women as the leading edge of Fat Liberation?

Blacks and whites are about the same height (with whites being a fraction of an inch taller on average according to the feds’ ongoing NHANES project of measuring Americans for the benefit of clothing retailers and manufacturers). Black and white men age 20-39 are about the same weight, but black women outweigh white women on average by 20 pounds.

So maybe a lot of white women are enthusiastic about black women being recently idealized as the epitome of beauty because they sense that if sometimes comes to adore 190 pound black women that means they can ease off on the dieting themselves?

Salad maker is denounced as fat phobic for saying eat plants.

All meat to be replaced with plants means vegans and vegetarians are fat phobic.

Who will win this autistic slap fight? Salad dodgers or vegan faggots?

As far as I know, despite the name the fast feeder in question isn't actually vegan or vegetarian.

Good to know losing weight and staying at a healthy weight is anti-vaxx.

 

[Kerr Avon]

On the one hand we could all stand to be more mindful in eating, but I am morally and ethically opposed to millionaires tossing down judgments like this.

Especially when the person is a member of the (((tribe)))

If we'd just use obese people as food for the starving, everyone would be in great shape.

And Big Pharma isn't pleased with that.

 

[Shiversblood]

If a white person thinks that black woman SHOULD be fat, then that’s the real racism. The fat acceptance movement does not help black women. It kills them. But the death is slow and painful.

if it's anything like the liberal paradox of "accept Islam, but western men can't adopt Sharia law and oppress women and fags" neither side wins, they just collect some outrage clickbux yelling both sides of the story.

Not naming the corn. For shame.

Daily reminder that the Greeks were the first ones to recognize obesity as a medical disorder.

So fatties will forever be BTFO.

Half of US adults are projected to be obese by 2030.
"Severe obesity" is projected to be the most common category among women (and blacks).
Good times.

They must literally want people to get fatter so more people die of COVID-19.

 

[NJBear]

So, should we deny heath care to the morbid obese as they literally take up more space in hospitals? Just like the "Unvaccinated"? How about the ICU's filled with shot criminals in large cities? How about minorities? People over 75? Gays with hiv? Immigrants? Disabled?

The link between obesity and negative outcomes from disease is undeniable at this point. Why is it these anti-science fatgots refuse to accept the science? Clearly they should be denied healthcare and access to travel since they increase the cost for everyone else. I see no problem with forcing people to walk around with an app that shows how many calories they have consumed in a given day and having to present that app whenever they go to a restaurant or bar to ensure they do not go over their government mandated allotment!

If it saves just one life...

(I really hope I do not need to point out the sarcasm but I kind of fear I do)
