Health Equity?

Well, why not

Students in their first year of medical school typically learn what a healthy body looks like and how to keep it that way. At the University of California, Los Angeles, they learn that "fatphobia is medicine’s status quo" and that weight loss is a "hopeless endeavor."

Those are two of the more moderate claims made by Marquisele Mercedes, a self-described "fat liberationist," in an essay assigned to all first-year students in UCLA medical school’s mandatory "Structural Racism and Health Equity" class. Launched in the wake of George Floyd’s death, the course is required for all first-year medical students.

The Left destroys everything it touches, and it touches everything. Problem is, few physicians, comfortable and lazy as they are in their tony suburbs, have the civil courage to speak out against this nonsense.

    Why do I, an architect, have to post this?
    I can tell you without a doubt, that the medical profession has NO idea what health really is, nor how to get it.You can tell this by looking at the buildings they build for themselves. They are unhealthy and ugly both. I am professionally qualified to make this judgement.
    Ride your bicycle.

    Yes, ride the bike. But avoid traffic. Get a good mountain bike, the ‘Jeep’ of the bicycle.
