Swann's not wrong.
Well...mostly not wrong. Some people's genetics do skew larger, but we can stop pretending a 600lb person is healthy and beautiful.

Sure. And there are some "healthy" fat people who exercise a lot, etc, but have some extra weight. But 99% rule here.

That's supposedly a 40lb difference from one side to the other. I don't see it?

Yeah, I'm with you. I think I see maybe some slight weight loss, but 40 lbs? No way.
Looking at it further, I'd guess 15 lbs. She's slimmer in the waistline and her gut has shrunk.

Yeah, the shorts are not quite as stuffed sausage, but still... looks like more 10 or 20 lbs tops.

Anatomy of a scam.
I uh mean "A short history of saturated fat: the making and unmaking of a scientific consensus."
The idea that saturated fats cause heart disease, called the diet-heart hypothesis, was introduced in the 1950s, based on weak, associational evidence. Subsequent clinical trials attempting to substantiate this hypothesis could never establish a causal link. However, these clinical-trial data were largely ignored for decades, until journalists brought them to light about a decade ago. Subsequent reexaminations of this evidence by nutrition experts have now been published in >20 review papers, which have largely concluded that saturated fats have no effect on cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular mortality or total mortality. The current challenge is for this new consensus on saturated fats to be recognized by policy makers, who, in the United States, have shown marked resistance to the introduction of the new evidence. In the case of the 2020 Dietary Guidelines, experts have been found even to deny their own evidence. The global re-evaluation of saturated fats that has occurred over the past decade implies that caps on these fats are not warranted and should no longer be part of national dietary guidelines. Conflicts of interest and longstanding biases stand in the way of updating dietary policy to reflect the current evidence
Worth remembering next time somebody screams at you about SCIENCE!!1!

Anybody who cares about cholesterol numbers or, god forbid, recommends statins is a dipshit. Notwithstanding that some of the other advice is ok.
Friend of mine was super against statins, said they were poison. Doctor recommended he get on them YEARS ago. He's about 8 years older than I am. He was also bad about exercise of any kind, etc.
Been fighting heart disease for 3 years, entered hospice a month ago, and died a couple of days ago.
Obviously there's more to it than "maybe he should have taken a statin," just take care of yourselves. Move around + lift things.

How Romans lowered their IQ.
Reminder that our average IQ has apparently lowered from 100 to 99. Not saying it's lead, but our food is poison, social media, rampant drug/alcohol use, etc.

I have noticed a few lady celebs who were known for being fat and proud, showing up a year later 50 pounds lighter.

Lizzo claims she did not use Ozempic, but I would guess 95-99% of them did.

But...but..."big is beautiful" and "it's perfectly normal and healthy to be that large" and all the other bullshit lies we were being told.
Interesting that the same people who made these claims about the morbidly obese are also the same people who think women can have dicks and men can give birth.
