I unironically believe vets are the best doctors. Years ago our family cat contracted some form of cancer. He had a surgical treatment out of state for less than $1,000, the doctor personally called afterwards to check up and see how he was doing, and he made a full recovery within a week. $1,000 for a human wouldn't even cover the test to confirm whether you have cancer.

Vets also have access to a variety of drugs that can be useful for humans (I'm not just talking Ivermectin but a lot of the drugs on the WHO list of essential pharmaceuticals). And a good vet knows how to do EVERYTHING from performing lab tests, to analyzing specimens under a microscope to weight control to pharmaceutical application to minor surgery! My vet knows 100x more than any doctor I've ever met, and it's broad knowledge.

If I was diagnosed with a particularly harmful disease or pathogen, I would certainly talk to my vet about it and value his opinion above whatever a doctor says. Actually, the next time you have a health question, I would tell your vet your "neighbor's pet" is experiencing it and see what he says.

In the apocalypse, give me a good vet over anyone else!

It's also fascinating that many unhealthy people will take better care of their pets than they take care of themselves. Regardless of our political feelings towards Jordan Peterson, the whole "clean your room" bit makes sense. Get your act together and treat yourself and your work with importance before you try to fix the world.

Vets have a broad base of knowledge because they have to study several different types of species in school. I wouldn’t go so far as preferring them over a doctor though.

One of the reasons some doctors are getting worse is the nonstop DEI initiatives and propaganda. Med school diversity initiatives mean people who should have never been doctors can get in and graduate. What are they going to do? Kick out the star diversity student? There are exceptions (Some African blacks like Nigerians and some Caribbean blacks I’ve met are dedicated and smart), but most are getting in with worse grades than your typical white or Asian applicant.

Then the propaganda creates a reverse racism system for treatment. Most offices and hospitals I’ve been to are staffed by overweight minority secretaries and you can bet 350 lbs Shaniqua is getting that urgent appointment before you are white boy. I don’t know if it’s explicitly taught or just practiced, but it seems to be trending that way.
 
Note: I apologize in advance for the picture in the article I'm linking. Then again, if you're American it's nothing you don't see every time you leave the house.

I saw this in the MSM this morning. My first thought was that having a "fat beach" event seems redundant in the USA in 2024.

The article didn't shock me because not much can shock me anymore, but what came close was this part, from the opening sentence:

...fight back against fat-phobia, reclaim safe spaces for the community and honor plus-size culture.
Click to expand...

The term "fat-phobia" as a reframing of the natural disgust and discomfort normal people feel when they encounter the morbidly obese is fairly common and has been for years. As far as "the community," I'd heard that there are online forums for the morbidly obese and I suppose such people might get together in real life, or maybe not since it's probably difficult to get around with you're that big, and I strongly suspect they don't like being around people their size much more than people at a healthy weight do. "Safe spaces" is just standard MSM/SJW gobbly gook. I didn't even notice it the first time I read through that sentence.

The reference to "plus-size culture" though. That's something new, something I've never seen before. Being hundreds of pounds overweight is a "culture" now. Gluttony is a "culture." And not just a culture, but a culture that deserved to be "honored."

Nothing more to add. I'm just sitting here right now not feeling exactly shocked, more just profoundly sad. It's highly disturbing to think of just one individual allowing herself to become hundreds of pounds overweight but now it's so common that the MSM is framing it as a "culture." First time I've seen this, but I imagine it will become common usage.

At least the comments are 100% hating on the idea.

Where’s the “lobster” response?!?
 
foodiefrenzy.quora.com

Why is unhealthy greasy fast food so popular in America and Europe? Is it because vegetables are extremely expensive there or most people...

Answer: Counterbalance
foodiefrenzy.quora.com foodiefrenzy.quora.com

A better question to ask is. Why is it Asian nutritional standards are applied to the things Americans and Europeans eat? Why is it Western medicine seems so ‘rigged’ at times to diagnostically punish those who enjoy western cuisines?

If I didn’t know any better.

I’d think there was a conspiracy afoot to undermine western values and culture through manipulated science and medicine. If COVID is any indicator, this ongoing medical conspiracy might originate from mainland China itself.

Greasy fast food isn’t generally popular. TASTY, food that engages the taste buds in often times artificial ways is what’s popular in America and Europe. This DOESN’T generally apply in places like China, which doesn’t generally make use of spices and sauces to the extent you can find in western cuisines.

I wonder (((who))) is behind this.

Hidden in plain sight.

Doctors need to be allowed to do the same thing; and advise their patients stay away from everything from seed oils to oreo cheesecake.

Slightly old post, but this is a great point. Calories are so cheap now that even our pets are obese, but, they have an excuse since they're dependent on us. I think it's more of an issue with cats than with dogs because, like you said, cats are carnivores. My own vet told me to dial down the amount of dry food (nearly entirely useless calories to a cat, AFAIK) I give mine. Hasn't just slimmed them down a bit, but their coats also feel nicer to the touch.

A lot of it can be explained by both the availability of cheap, low quality calories and eating out of boredom. I know eating out of boredom is a bad habit of mine, and I'm trying to break out of it. Detaching from the constant dopamine stream of phones, video games, and screens and actually paying attention to how you feel after a meal is incredibly helpful. I know that, for me, I'll feel satiated after basically anything with home-cooked meat (doesn't matter what type for me), fresh fruit/veggies, and rice or potatoes for the carbs. If I stick to that, my weight will stay the same or go down, and I also both feel and look (skin, etc.) better.

I also know a lot of people at the gym I go to who put up very impressive weight on the bench or whatever, but have huge bellies and will copesplain it to you by saying something like "women like men with a bit of weight on them" or "I'd rather be strong than skinny and tired all the time." You simply cannot out-exercise a bad diet. Having that extra weight on your frame can make sense for people like powerlifters and football players, but if you work sitting at a desk, behind a wheel, at a restaurant or whatever, that doesn't apply to you.

In some Latin America countries people that know you will tease you if you even gain a modest amount of weight even if you aren't actually fat yet. Just put on 5kg and you when you see someone you haven't seen for a while you can get hit with a "did you put on weight?" comment. It really helps keep you motivated to stay in shape.
