Well in Australia that was the period that fast food franchises came and took the cities by storm. Think Burger King and Maccas.
HFCS is a huge contributor IMO. That plus packaged foods, fast food, and more snack foods.. Candy aisles in grocery stores blew up in the 80s as well. That's when "impulse items" like candy bars started being placed by the cash register.
I am not sure how this would work in practice. At my clinic, before you even see the GP, you are weighed, your blood pressure taken, your immunization record reviewed, and any change in your health recorded. Giving this card to the nurse would not work very well. He or she would ask her if she really wants to be part of this practice. Interestingly, not weighting an overweight patient could be seen as abuse by not taking his or her health seriously.
Exactly, weight medically affects way more than just health conditions. Even outside the doctors office, one of the first things they teach you when handling alcohol is that a fat person will handle way more drinks than a skinny person just because there's more blood to intoxicate. If an office was ACTUALLY providing those cards as the tweet claimed, they need to be investigated for medical negligence because even if fat activists wanna think they're as healthy as a skinny person, they still have more blood than one, meaning different immediate medical needs. Mental health is a serious issue, sure, but you won't have mental health if your physical health kills you first.
Taking improperly-measured medication to own the skinnies.
It wasn't just the presence of the HFCS, there was an actual conspiracy behind it as well. Look up "Project 226".
Isn't it called "Hungry Jack's" down there because there was a pre-existing Burger King who already had the copyright? I don't think it's his fault everyone got so fat.

Skinny people can't be insecure, because they have "thin privilege."
Something something intersectionality, you can have your woes in other spheres, but you never ever were oppressed for your body, unlike my suffering self, uwu
who wears a chain when they're "working out", lmao- also, wearing a mask while using the cardio machines at a gym is a weird flex that you're not actually working out hard enough to sweat/breathe hard, but okay. its always funny to me when people who claim they go to the gym often/exercise frequently (more than the thins, even!) expose themselves in really subtle ways.
You’d think they’d want to give more visibility to all eating disorders including anorexia nervosa (which also stems from absurdly low self esteem and body image), but nahhh.
They sure do want to give more visibility to anorexia nervosa, but remember: the ultimate root of anorexia is fatphobia, thus the true victims whose voices need to be centered and uplifted aren't the people actually suffering from it, but unaffected fatties whose feelings are hurt being reminded that their bodies are so undesirable that some people are willing to literally starve themselves to death to ensure they never look like them.
