For f---'s sake, or, The Knee Pain in So whatever, I'm too busy for this s---, but I just wanted to note that 1) yes, having better muscular support can help alleviate knee pain and can even help prevent SOME joint problems caused by gravity + time, but that goes for everyone, not just fat people 2) yes, fat people with poor muscular development, all else equal, have more downward pressure on their joints than thinner people with poor muscular development. However, this still does not make long-term weight loss possible for the vast majority of fat people, hence does not make a prescription of such REASONABLE for the vast majority of fat people. On its face increasing muscle mass to support your joints, if you are ABLE to do so, is a more accessible option to most fat people. 3) TROLLS, YOU GENERALLY SUCK AT READING COMPREHENSION. Its not just a criticism. It's a fact. And it's likely on purpose. You read what you want to. You are blind to subtlety when it doesn't suit your cause, because the game of trolling doesn't admit points for actual fallacies promoted by websites like TITP, only perceived fallacies within the trolling community itself. You don't get "points" from us, just from each other 4) Fellow SJWs and allies, beware of getting into a hairsplitting war. It's usually a diversionary tactic from the discussion at hand and has little to do with actual clarification of reasonable criticism. People who follow the trolls and who aren't really trolls yourself, think hard about why trolls troll and why blogs like TITP do what we do. Then ask yourself, What's the difference? What goal does each cause serve? can tell you the trolls are doing it mainly for entertainment. They like to try to break things. That's how they get their kick. Do you think that's what TITP is trying to do? If not, why the f--- are you listening to the trolls instead of trying to understand what we're saying? Understanding something that seems foreign to you is challenging, admittedly. But it will make you a more knowledgable person after the fact. Bowing to conformist pseudo-scientific hate-messages dressed in faux concern will not.
