If you're a chihauhau who is 5 pounds over your genetic weight, maybe that is health-threatening. If you are a Rottweiler, who can even tell? Medical discrimination causes health problems More fat people are united kingdom poor (fat women make the same amount less than thin women as short men vs. tall men), and more of them do not have any medical insurance at united kingdom all because the insurance companies united kingdom won't cover them, or charge exorbitant rates to cover them. Research is currently underway to document the avoidance of medical care by fat people who don't believe that they'll be treated for their problems without a weight-loss lecture, so their problems may be more advanced by the time they see a doctor. Social discrimination causes health problems The stigma against fat people is profound and stressful, and the same diseases that are associated with being in other oppressed groups (high blood pressure, for example) may be caused by social discrimination.
