The Swedish Diet Doc (does he have any patients?) has been on a roll of late, and it's reached a point where I just have to comment.
For starters, although it would be impossible for every bariatric doc or even a small minority of them to be real-life examples (in the been there, done that department) to be able to promote what has worked for them, at least one might expect that such a doctor wouldn't hold such disdain for them. When you think about it, medicine is one of those professions where the experts rarely have first-hand knowledge of the fields in which they are often doling out the most personal of advices. But if you don't like "fat people" then why are you making a living off of "treating" them and dissing them behind their backs (and to their faces)?
Diet Doc even has a label: Why Americans are Obese. Sounds OK though. Yeah, obese is the technical term. But here is one of the posts on that label: http://www.dietdoctor.com/why-americans-are-fat-part-2. Note that I didn't change the bare URL which belies the original title of the post, and many others, before someone informed the doc that calling people fat might be insulting and not appropriate for a person of his stature to be doing.
