And seriously, Mikey- go into medicine. Nothing is stopping you. At all. Particularly as the US system has a couple of less reputable schools she could pick from, where entry isn't as ruthless.
She could bring her fat expertise.
I'm just so sick of laymen being vicious know it all to scientists, Drs, etc. It's like fine. Then you do it. Why don't they (Mikey etc)? Why doesn't self proclaimed anti medical fatphobia expert Ragen Chastain (seriously, she releases a weekly newsletter with insanity every week, including 'materials for doctors') train as Drs?? Seems like the obvious thing to do to me. But then I'm not afraid of hard work or delayed gratification.
