New research confirms a strong link between higher BMI, financial woes, and social isolation. The causal arrows point everywhere.
FO Take · Score 85
Society's relentless demonisation of larger bodies isn't just impacting health; it's gutting incomes and shredding social ties. The systemic biases baked into workplaces, healthcare, and public spaces create a poverty trap that is as cruel as it is unnecessary. This isn't about individual choices; it's about collective failure. When will we dismantle the structures that profit from our self-loathing?
The strongest counter
Correlation isn't causation. Lifestyle choices often dictate both BMI and financial outcomes, alongside social engagement. Focus on personal responsibility before blaming systemic issues.
