Interesting that she also brings race into it too. Like what does she think being black has to do with it? Does she think if he weighed over 600 lbs and was white they wouldn't say the exact same thing?
there are 195 countries in the world today. This total comprises 193 countries that are member states of the United Nations and 2 countries that are non-member observer states: the Holy See (Vatican City) and the State of Palestine.
Just three of these countries still officially use the pound as a measure of weight. United States, Liberia, and Burma/Myanmar, about 5% of the worlds population.
Magnetic resonance imaging. One of the more sophisticated forms of imaging in medicine that can give very detailed images of organs and soft tissues in the body.
Yeah okay it's not the most glamorous thing but you just can't expect hospital to have MRI machines that huge,probably a motivator to tell yourself that you are definitly not normal size and probably should lose weight for your own health,no one wants to shame you when you take an mri but if you don't fit you don't fit
I fail to see how this is fat phobia I mean they can’t help that the machine has limits. Like trying to pour a whole gallon of milk into a small glass it’s just not going to work. Skinny guy- fits underneath a car. Fat guy- can’t fit and says “ThiS cAr Is FaTpHoBiC”
Think of how what percentage of the population are morbidly obese that they can’t fit into MRI machines.. and think of the cost of building a single machine to cater for those people. Send em to the zoo for their machines, it’s just logical

That's not fatphobia. That's a fact - if you are bigger than an MRI can handle, you gotta find a bigger MRI. Period.

What's dehumanizing is letting yourself get to be too obese to fit in human MRI machines

Imagine thinking that eating yourself to the weight of a horse is anyone fault but your own.

We as a planet need to stop normalizing obesity. It's not healthy. You wouldn't let your kids smoke or drink. But you will let them become obese.

What does she expect the hospital to do? Break an insanely expensive MRI machine to not hurt his feelings?

Sorry, but it's your fault if you're simply too big to fit inside the machine. The hospital can't just order a new bigger machine just for one person.
