The Difference in concerns about weight gain vs weight loss

 Okay, hit by a bit of inspiration. Mostly out of concern about a previous irritating conversation repeat. Or rather several previous irritating conversations that keep happening based upon a bit of a misconception

The misconception is not understanding the difference regarding concerns about weight gain compared to weight loss

People say something is unhealthy--and sometimes it is them being a rude piece of crap about stuff

 Other times it is when I talk about making The Coffee Cheese. You know, when you leave out coffee for long enough, and a cheese of some sort forms on the top of the coffee. I've been good about actually regularly drinking coffee, so it has been a while since The Coffee Cheese has appeared. I've not actually tried eating The Coffee Cheese, as the lack of dead vermin in the old coffee has me wondering if the missing dead vermin is the basis of The Coffee Cheese--or if dead vermin appearing in aged coffee stops the development of The Coffee Cheese

Now, if somebody were to be able to form words in response to me talking about The Coffee Cheese to suggest maybe something unhealthy is occurring in that situation (other than me just letting perfectly servicable Coffee Cheese to go to waste)--that should not be viewed as them being rude. They managed to get through the various SAN loss throws with enough ability to do things like use "words" and put them into something akin to a "sentence". Their concern is actually reasonable--and a proper polite thing to do

Oh I should note that I drink my coffee black--so the old coffee was black coffee, before developing The Coffee Cheese. It occurred to me that some people would DARE sully a perfectly okayish cup of coffee by having it be tainted by a touch of milk. I mean, Mocha is okay--but I've never left a Mocha out long enough to have it have a chance to form The Coffee Cheese. It has only shown up on black coffee, that I've still not figured out how to brew it strong enough

Now, when people deal with people concerned about weight loss and their health--those people are often have already dealt with people showing "concern" about their having a decent amount of weight. Let's go over how the usual health concerns are kind of a douche move to make

Overweight Health Concerns is Eugenics

 "Bold claims off the start. Points to this being entertaining" -- Frigyth The Grumpy, Musings Before Ketchup 

 So... a lot of what makes up society is just flat out racism. This should be just basic understanding of stuff at this point. There is no way to be fully not racist. Most you can do is go over various notions and challenge them to see if they work or don't work

Beauty Standards have their basis in Eugenics in order to determine the value of that young lass to be purchased for the purpose of produce an heir to the family name.

You see when you pull out the calipers and measure stuff, you will note that have a large nose means that this young bride sow has had ancestors who were either Jewish or Black. If the young bride sow has any weight, they likely have ancestors who were either Italian, Ukrainian or Black

Yes, _THAT_ is the level of Eugenics racism present in the forming of beauty pageants.  The level that also discrimates against The Irish, The Italians, The Roma, and Ukrainians ontop of the standard Black, Brown, Red and Yellow stuff. Except it would combine Black and Brown in order to have it match up with The Four Humours. With East Asian people being represented by Yellow Bile and Black (and Brown) people being represented by Black Bile. With a large amount of weird racist nonsense attempting to be forced to go along with the Four Humours stuff

I mean, SURE you can "cure" an Ojibwa man of being a living native by removing all the humour that relates to the colour red. However, you only have a "saved Christian" if you include corpses in that list of allowable versions of that definition. When you medical talks has the word "cure" used in the same way you'd use in conjunction with a "ham" you might want to go back to the blackboard on things

Oh right... Blackboards are what Whiteboards were in the 1900s. So many history lessons in this post

Now, when somebody pulls open a Playboy magazine or an issue of Vogue, it is generally considered bad form to go through it, and be all, "yes, that model's nose shows that she is purely European going back all the way to Adam and Eve!"--even without taking into account all the Europeans who don't get to be considered human by the sorts who would do that

However, all the beauty standards that were based on determining if your Great Great Grandma secretly had relations with a slave man, and then pretended it was the child of the gentleman suitor who purchased her to be his breeding sow wife. Well--they've kind of stuck around

Yes, there have been various changes in other elements of beauty--but all the ones based around determining if the person is an example of pure white person (to make the best Breed Sow Wife)... well... a lot of those are still in place. With most people talking about how "these are the timeless beauties--and are how everybody has always viewed beauty" for specifically the stuff that has its basis from the old days of opening up a ten year old girl's mouth to look for secret Jew teeth, before sending her off to start working to produce a heir to the family name for a suitor somewhere 

Now, nobody says this stuff out loud. I mean, I say this out loud--but I've also been banned from a fair amount of coffee shops. Those were for entirely unconnected reasons though. One of them I kept turning into a black child by putting on a hoodie--and a black child in a hoodie sleeping head down on a table was not the brand that particular Tim Hortons was wanting to project. I could fix that problem by removing the hoodie and turning into a white child--but I was not aware that I had the ability to race change like that via donning and removing a trivial article of clothing. That whole incident kind of completely blind sided me, and I was not able to predict it as a possible thing to occur in a crappy Tim Hortons (there are several better Tim Hortons). As honestly, that still sounds like a crazy thing to use words to communicate a description of it happening

 The thing is... Eugenics has been laundered by douche bags

The Laundering of Eugenics

 "Laundering day is a very dangerous day" -- Rocko, prolly, Rocko's Modern Life

So, there is a lot of psuedoscience, pop-science, pop-psychology and what not, that is largely just rebranded racism--but for the Crunchy equivalent of a traveling Medicine Show 

Anytime a miracle cure comes from "Ancient Chinese Secret", "Revealled from Sanskrit Manuscripts", "Found in the Dead Sea Scrolls", "Indian/Native Medicine Man from the Reserve", "Shamanery", "The Voodoo Witch", "An old ancient Roma Elderly Woman", "Darkest Africa", etc., etc. it is obviously just racism where you don't view the source as actually people. Instead some kind of magical creature who exists only for your purposes. Think like a good chunk of the characters Whoopi Goldberg has played over her career

Some racism, however, is not as obvious--because it has been somewhat laundered

Take IQ for example. IQ largely exists to try to justify black people being lesser people--via claiming that Intelligence is an unalterable genetic trait that is fixed at a certain spot. That some people just have better genetic Intelligence than others

Then the test for getting the IQ score is just a test to see how much a person has been socialised as a white person. Mix in a couple mild logic puzzles, in amongst a list of stuff that is just a quiz of "were you raised as a lower upper class cishetero white man"

Now, in the 21st Century Psychology is wise to the issue that the IQ test doesn't seem to be as set in stone. That you can study for it. That a lot of the questions on it aren't really intelligence questions. Mixed with the very obvious notion that you cannot measure intelligence if you cannot give a clearly defined definition of intelligence. It is like giving a measurement of a roof... but not knowing if the walls floor or door are part of the roof or not

It becomes hard to ignore the racism of IQ when you note that having a low score only resulted in sterilisation if you were not white

Heck, white women were given a surgical procedure that involved an ice pick in their eye socket, as them having a lower IQ was actually more desirable. As this system is only suppose to have white men being able to benefit from intellect

It should be noted that if you look at the ideal of men and the ideal of women from these various Eugenics texts and what not--you kind of create a similar image as those lazy fantasy world building, where the male Minotaur is a large hairy horned beast creature, and the female Minotaur is a busty humanoid looking woman (that matches the current society beauty standards really well) who has horns, hooves and udder tits 

 Which uh... is criticised in lazy fantasy worlds--but like the weird people who don't view women as actually people (so much as heir to the family name receptacles) clue in that their Ideal Human Image ends up being the same thing

People still talk about IQ like it wasn't some obvious way to justify sterilising black men and black women. To try to pretend it is actually based in science, and not just arbitrary nonsense

Heck, if you were to take every time somebody says the n-bomb and replace it with the r-bomb you'd not really change any of the messages being communicated. Maybe without the hard-r on the n-bomb, you might need to translate it to "my tard"--or something like that. The only thing you might comment upon is that it is less obvious if you are talking about a black person or not

Which is why certain terms end up existing, when trying to launder racist and/or eugenics type concepts to sound appealing to polite culture 

Medicine Works Differently on Black Men 

 "Urge to smite: rising. Evil-dar is going off somewhere near by" -- Vincent Chadwick Thundersexsmith, Hero of Legend 

 Okay--not entirely honest with this title and a bit clickbaity right here.

The thing is, there is a LONG history of the medical industry not being good with black men and black women. Via saying they don't actually feel pain (and them claiming otherwise is just them trying to trick you, so they can be a lazy drug addict). Saying that black men and black women are just inherently stronger physically. With black women being understood to be "inherently genetically mannish"

Ever be so racist that it is gay for a man to date a black women? 

 So we have doctors already having weird judgement calls when it comes to different skin coloured patients. Even without women coming in here with it just being hysteria, and yes, you can see their arm has fallen off--but you are not going to be able to treat it until that woman loses some weight

That is where we come full circle here

Me making the claim that doctors hassling people to lose weight is the doctor being racist

Okay... well, when summarised like that, it does sound crazy enough that my intro talking about creating The Coffee Cheese seems like an average sane Tuesday of pure mundane normallacy

However, it isn't just beauty standards normallising various things that we transfered from goat shows to apply to young women to see which was the most ideal for being bought as a breed sow wife to produce an heir to the family name 

 Ever run into somebody who is allergic to peanuts? How about somebody who has issues drinking milk. I mean--so much for the so called Tolerant Left--DO YOU SEE HOW MUCH LACTOSE INTOLERANCE IS ON THE TOLERANT LEFT?!?!

Now, if drinking milk is not a universal good thing for people--and for several people, not only is it not a good thing, but it is also a very bad thing that will make them sick. One has to ask if it is possible that some forms of medicine might also show a similar set of the population that can get good results from trying it on

Most medicine that actually helps people is tested on Lower-Upper Class Cishetero(seeming) White Men. So it is possible that some populations that have issues drinking milk, might also not fare well with that medicine

Doctors have picked up on this 

The issue is the Doctors have not considered that the medicine might not work as well on people with Ukrainian heritage. Instead the Doctor just thinks the medicine won't work if the man or woman is fat

This ties back to the whole thing where having a larger amount of weight was how people with Eugenics based notions determined that a young girl was not the most ideal breed sow wife to produce an heir to the family name, on account of them being mildly Italian, or possibly part black, or absolute horrifyingly of Ukrainian stock 

And can you really say that Ukrainians are healthy people? Answer quickly the Gestapo are on their way to your door, and you can choose if you get to go for a train ride

There is a lot of unchecked biases in our medical system

Heck a lot of biology text books still give us Lamarck's stages of pregnancy like those are an actual scientific set of pictures that depict something real. When in actuality it was just the results of Lamarck molesting a bunch of fish and amphibians and claiming it was for scientific research. Nobody ever accuses Lamarck of being the one who made the frogs gay

 A lot of biology textbooks still use pictures of Raccoon Penises/Testicles/etc and Raccoon Vaginas/Uteruses/etc for how genitals look as a cross section. Dating back to when doing autopsies on human bodies was illegal and doing ANYTHING with genitals was EXTRA illegal. Darwin said you were here because your parents had sex--and everybody hated him for it

That is just the really obvious stuff that we can point to and laugh "ha! That woman has a raccoon penis!"

The entire field of Medicine is a REALLY REALLY large field of study. With a large amount of material to pour over, read and review for its stuff. This makes it really easy to have a bunch of racist or misogynous nonsense slipped right into there and have it go unnoticed. As while a large amount of stuff is based upon that paper--the paper is extremely dry to read through, so no sane person goes beyond reading the synapsis or summary of it

 This is not me calling out people. More me acknowledging that time management is a skill a doctor needs to learn in order to avoid going completely mad and working a job on the talk radio, podcast or day time television circuit--or even a career in politics

 Bad people will hide bad things, in stuff that it is hard to ferret out the stuff without having a few bad habits show what they are hiding from people

 Allowing for a situation where the reason why being fat is inherently unhealthy--is because it hints you might have Italian, Ukrainian or Black ancestory. With not much beyond that, other than medicine seems to have a similar issue as Lactose Intolerance to those groups, and this getting mixed up with the fat being the source of the bad health

Why People Show Concern for Losing Weight

 "None of that seemed required... or even remotely reasonable" -- Book of Ketchup Recipes: the companion reader to Frigyth The Grumpy's Musings Before Ketchup, Sidhe Summer University, Unseelie Printing

 Jegus Christies Snack Cakes! That last section was massive to explain why it hurts people's feelings to tell them you think their having had Italian ancestors makes them less desirable for producing an heir to the family name! It was unnecessary on several levels. It somehow managed to make talking about The Coffee Cheese seem like a reasonable notion to work with here

Well, the thing is... being slender or skinny is not inherently more healthy of a state to be in. For a good example, I'm slender, and I opened this blog post up talking about The Coffee Cheese. That cannot be inherently healthy

 Well, first off, the obvious. You are less likely to be diagnosed for health disorders. The doctor will simply see that you resemble the ideal Wunder Menschlich--and assume you HAVE to be healthy

If you are a woman, and very clearly of high stock breeding material to produce several heirs to the family name, they will conclude you have The Hysteria. To get diagnosed you need to start off fat, lose weight, nearly die and _THEN_ when the health fails to improve, and you showed that Social Hygiene of shedding the pounds, you can get treatment that is far too late to get anything meaningful out of it

 The issue with health mostly comes from people losing weight at too fast of a rate and dying from it

The issue also comes from the mindset that can develop behind it. Yeah, you might not be currently doing any drugs or dangerous activities to lose the weight. However--can you say you will avoid that indefinitely

People don't just get hooked onto Eating Disorder Drugs because some guy hanging out behind the Rebok's store at the mall was all, "hey, you want to be develop an eating disorder you maintain using dangerous uncontrolled substances?"... I mean, in general that isn't how it happened. I'm certain you could point to a couple examples of this being how it went down--but like, usually this isn't what happens

It is The Mindset that leads to the problems that come down

 It is like how abusive partners don't start off being involved with a clumbsy person who fell down the stairs after not being able to make toast right. No, that clumsy person needs to understand them falling down the stairs was the correct and right thing. That there are plenty of ways that they can make toast and have it be improved. That maybe if they could figure out how to make toast better, the hair straightener won't slip so often from being so clumbsy

You need to build them up first. You need to get into their head this is what is going on--and that it is all their own fault, and they just need to learn how to love you better. Their inability to love you enough is shown every time they make toast and you can find some problem in it 

 Similar, when it comes to losing weight... you risk developing a similar The Mindset

Except this The Mindset is not as likely to have you understanding that you are incapable of making toast. No--this The Mindset is going to have you possibly consider other things as you go along

The concern for people losing weight comes from worry about them dying

The concern for people having a lot of weight comes from the worry they might have Ukrainian heritage... or Black heritage... or... yeah, you get the point here

Ooh boy! This was a spicy blog post. There are going to people who read this--and get very upset, but not be able to effectively communicate why they are upset

Or more likely, decide they are upset about me saying something--that is not actually supported by anything of the things I actually said. That they just think I _MIGHT_ be the sort to say something like that... on account of how a lot of this content is fairly spicy
