…and had a more enlightened & educated point of view regarding weight gain, on the whole.

You won’t hear me moan about “fat-shaming” on DU, nor will I take it personally if someone mocks Trump. But I have written about my experience with medication that causes weight gain, and how every doc saw the scale and no doc ever bothered to read the list of my medications.

I have written about the incredible difference between group class photos of kids in the 1950s (in my class, exactly one child was overweight) and those a few generations later — are the judgmental folks of the opinion that all those 10 year olds in 2020 have simply lost their minds regarding food? Or maybe someone needs to start reading labels and ask: when did high fructose corn syrup get added to everything in the American grocery store?

I’d thank you for your kind attention, but I doubt anyone is paying attention or will change their minds.
