So, you may have seen the below- some of the text is chopped off- it also includes language about fat “strangling” organs (pretty sure, not a thing).
Where does this photo of a heart come from? It’s from a slide show about heart transplants, photo number 9.
The photo’s original text is below.
This is a healthy heart, being transplanted INTO a person who needs a heart transplant.
It is NOT a heart taken out of a dead fat person who died of Fat Heart, which is not a thing.
Fat haters lie. They do it all the time.
Never forget that.
This is the stupidest thing I’ve read in a long time.
Sure, “fat heart” isnt a thing but being obese does cause heart problems as the heart has to grow in order to pump more blood around the body which causes it to strain and struggle just for doing its job.
This is a real picture of a normal heart next to the heart of an obese person’s.
Why do people constantly want to encourage being obese despite the many health risks it carries?
Fat haters lie.
“Martti Tenhu, chief medical examiner in Helsinki, Finland, illustrates the differences between a normal human heart and one enlarged by alcoholism and high blood pressure. Covered in scar tissue, the enlarged organ is nearly twice the normal size. Such alcoholic cardiomyopathy weakens the heart so that it is unable to pump blood adequately.”
“Alcoholic cardiomyopathy is a disease in which the chronic long-term abuse of alcohol… leads to heart failure.”
The original photo is from the National Geographic and does not mention the size of the person who had the enlarged heart.
Fat haters lie.
For a group of people who yell about science all the time, they sure do love clipping off the actual text included with the original photos and replacing it with dishonest garbage.
If you take the time to double check their sources, this is basically how it always goes.
They will say anything to advance their bigotry. Don’t listen to them.
It’s ok to be fat!
Fatty Liver disease though really can be caused by being overweight.
Did you just pick a disease with the word “fat” in it? B/c that’s what it looks like you did.
According to Wikipedia, this is another disease that is caused by alcoholism among other things.
And according to this article by the NIH, hepatic steatosis is a disease that thin people get too.
So once again, we see that fat haters are liars.
Additionally- just randomly picking out a disease that has the word fat in the title does not in any way refute the fact that your buddies are liars.
That they remove the true text from photos and lie about what those photos actually show.
I love how THREE PEOPLE IN A ROW tried to lie or just picked something random to support their fatphobia.
i’m about to die of Fat Heart
Try to defend yourself against any of these I fucking dare you my grandma has diabetes high blood pressure and sleep apnea, ya know what else my grandma is? overweight. None of these diseases run in the family and she didn’t have them in high school when she wasn’t overweight. So try me try to say I’m lying about this shit I dare you
It’s not fat phobia it’s the truth of your disgusting life choices
There’s a lot to pick apart here:
1. You posted a totally unsourced, seemingly random image as your main arguing point. Cherrypicking much? Are fat people simply more likely to have them or are they DYING EN MASS because of this shit? Becaause there’s a big difference between “more likely” and “a self-inflicted disease that kills everyone.”
2. In what way does this disprove the point of the op-that the anti-fat meme was a lie and most of the responses were as well?
3. Not only is the grandma story entirely anecdotal, but you base it entirely on the idea that she magically gained all of these diseases because she became fat. You can’t even say like, the doctor said that, you just assume that correlation exists. And yeah, umm…most people tend to not have the same diseases when they’re in highschool as when they’re old LMAO.
4. Even if you were entirely right about all of hat-did you seriously just mock your own grandmother about her illnesses for the sake of an arguing point?
It always makes me sad when I see people talking like this about their own loved ones, like– how do you think your fat family and friends would feel if they knew you were being cruel about their size to “win” an argument with internet strangers?
Fat people are so dehumanized that this is how the people who supposedly love us, talk about us.
This happens all the time, and it’s really really sad.
How to lose an argument: pull a random picture off Google Image Search and use it against a person who has literally just demonstrated the ability to use Reverse Image Search.
This made me laugh. 😀
Hi, actual doctor here (well, eye doctor, but I treat diabetics regularly and did an entire report on obesity and diabetes to get my doctorate so I sort of know what I’m talking about maybe more than most of you), reminding you that correlation does not imply causation and we know that weight/obesity CORRELATE to hypertension, diabetes, and other diseases but there is no proof of cause. For every peer-reviewed study that says one causes the other, another says it doesn’t. I know because I’ve looked. I’d also like to remind people that, except in men over 55yo with known heart disease/heart risk factors, lowering cholesterol with statin medication does not lower all-cause mortality even though it lowers cholesterol numbers. Why do I bring this up? Because doctors will still put anyone on statin meds even if they don’t benefit from them statistically life-wise because the labs get better because the labs are more easily measurable and make us feel useful and make patients feel like they’re getting better care and doctors are taught in school this is the right thing to do. And doctors are taught the same thing about weight. Diabetic? High blood pressure? Anything wrong at all with the person in any way? Are they overweight? Make them lose weight! Might not help but it won’t hurt right? At least it’s a measurable thing that we know *correlates* to health outcomes and we can control it easier than we can control those other outcomes so let’s control it! It’s like pressing the “easy” button from Staples instead of doing real work! Never mind that “obese” is a useless classification based on outdated BMI equations that don’t take muscle mass, body shape, activity level, or other health factors into account. Nevermind that, despite that BMI is a useless measure, people who fall into “overweight” BMI tend to be healthier and live longer than those in the “normal” or “underweight” BMI categories. Nevermind that socioeconomic factors also correlate with both obesity and diabetes/hypertension/high cholesterol/stroke risk/increased all cause mortality and yet no one says “hey, I know you’re stressed and living paycheck to paycheck…maybe to help with your high blood pressure you should see a financial counselor at the local community center for some help” or “I know McDonald’s has a dollar menu and is quick and easy, but your blood sugar levels would be better if we could find you some healthier alternatives. Are there any local community gardens in your neighborhood?” We just want an easy solution to a problem and we all want someone to blame, so we all say “you made yourselves sick by making yourselves fat” and ignore the other 1000 things going on in this equation, including, again, the most basic tenant that correlation does not imply causation – and it’s no wonder that obesity and poor health correlate when you consider socioeconomic and stress risk factors.
What all of that wall of text is saying is: y’all literally have no idea what you’re talking about, you’ve clearly never done any more research than typing your biased searches into Google and getting your bias-confirmating answers back, and since doctors are also taught a lot of this bias you probably aren’t going to find better info unless you know how to read a peer-reviewed journal. And since, as it was already pointed out, y’all can’t figure out not to lie to someone who was clearly on a “I’m not buying your lying bullshit” streak already, I don’t think y’all can figure out peer reviewed science articles either.
Bitch why is everyone just staring at him as he runs off WTF
Is this guy part chicken or something?
Though tbqh, if I saw a decapitated guy grab his ax and run off while yelling “Death to the Empire”, I’m not sure I’d be capable of doing more that stand and stare with my mouth open.
I showed this to my husband and evidently it’s a Skyrim bug exploit where you can pardon a guy just as the axe is coming down, so the guy is alive by virtue of being exonerated but still beheaded by sheer inertia. And uh… bursting with aggro from the looks of it. I am told you can make an army of invincible headless warriors this way.
