Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
And also, since what we originally started arguing about was frosted flakes.
Is it really on topic to start throwing Genetics articles at this? All the above is about "obesity traits" which as I understand it are referring to intrinsic stuff not consumption of frosted flakes.
My previous point about neighbourhoods still stands. Or being racialized. You know how closely all this anti fat shit is related to racial essentialism right?
Your old articles are fine if there is a reason you chose them. I asked you directly if you actually read them, because one of them is paywalled and >99% of people can't read the link you provided. Maybe you are at a university of something and you could read it and didn't realize that. Lack of response suggests that I was correct in my assumption that these 3 articles were chosen by means of cherry picking because they supported your position.
You literally disputed there being a causal association between obesity and morbidity and mortality when there demonstrably is, so yes, it is on topic.
I literally didn't say anything 'anti fat'. I said that there is a causal association between obesity and morbidity and mortality. And there is.
There are numerous systematic reviews and meta-analyses finding a robust association between obesity and morbidity and mortality. At this point you are just outright denying the science, which is your prerogative and all but don't pretend you're making anything other than an emotional, heuristic, non-scientific argument. You refuse to update your beliefs based on the evidence which shows to me that you're not engaging in good faith, so I'll stop replying now. I hope you come around to scientific thinking some day.
