Again it’s time for the holiday health curmudgeons to bleat at us, disregarding mental and emotional health and a warm feeling of togetherness and community in favour of carrot sticks and abstinence.
This year they’d like us to tell our relatives they’re fat.
‘Tell loved ones they are overweight this Christmas’
Christmas may be a time of indulging for many, but health experts believe it is the perfect time to tell a loved one they are overweight.
Right, because
1. They don’t know?
2. It’s any of your business?
3. There’s not an increasing body of evidence that the connection between health and body size is not as simple as “fat = bad”?
That’ll be a really merry Christmas for everyone.
Pff. If the “health experts” are worried about people’s health, perhaps they shouldn’t give people advice that will get them punched.
