I'm just sitting here waiting for the point of what you said. 60 people upvoted, but you didn't say anything.
The phrase of the day (which you should Google of you downvote this) is pseudo-profound bullshit.
I think their point is that doctors don't want their patients to become entrapped by obesity into lifelong poor health, which also traps them as sources of revenue for corporations that profit from sickness and fat: pharma, companies that sell fad diet and/or exercise plans, etc. So if your doctor tells you to lose weight, it's probably coming from a good place, regardless of what else might be going on with your health.
(And just in anticipation of some replies I might get: yes, it's absolutely a real and shitty thing when doctors only see the fat and assume it's the cause of all the patient's problems. You deserve better healthcare than that. But also recognize that while the fat might not be the cause of a given problem, it might be exacerbating that problem.)
You count just say you disagree and explain why it upset you.
