I have a question for everyone. How many of you have ever been told...or found it in your records...that you are chronically malnourished? I was told a couple years ago that I was chronically malnourished and that my muscles were eating away at themselves because of this. I also found these same results in my medical records on a number of occasions prior. Why wasn't I ever told? Could it be because doctors and others don't have a problem with labeling fat people as lazy, overeating malcontents but throw in some evidence that says that these individuals aren't overeating or even lazy and they don't know what to say. You certainly won't find them correcting their hurtful statements. It seems to me that there were others that had these same results. It is time that members of the medical profession and even plain old ordinary members of society stop pointing their haughty little fingers and look for reasons for a persons obesity instead of degrading them.
