This article says that the
American Medical Association (AMA, not
Ask me anything—)
Voted on it in 2013
And then the article proceeds to explain
That it has been discussed
As a disease
By doctors in the field
Since the 1600’s and yet
Sure, go ahead
Laugh, and insist
Everyone has the cure
Readily at their disposal.
The most egregious concept
Perpetuated by the obesity epidemic
Is that obesity is
A new problem.
It’s not new, it’s ancient.
It’s just becoming more prevalent
Now that we have even fewer environmental means
To manage it. chief of which
In my opinion
Is a hateful, bigoted, shame-riddled, contempt-high general public
Doped out on Michelle Obama’s arms
Hell bent on fixing
Every fat body
Every fat perspective
Every fat person they come in contact with.
