What about those who have a high BMI and take lots of drugs, did God do them wrong?




I would never say never. Of course I would never do it to be mean or embarrass someone but I might state circumstances where people could get off drugs by following a healthy diet. So I don't support the use of drugs in all situations.

P.S. My doctor said he studied nutrition in college but didn't say whether or not he had a degree in nutrition. But even if he does have a degree, it could be 1) as much as 25 years old and somewhat outdated 2) unused knowledge gets forgotten anyway and 3) why would he want to open up a conversation about nutrition when he's already pressed for time and won't get paid for the extra effort? It doesn't make much sense.

Your view of physicians is twisted. They are not, for the most part, money grabbers. I had an appointment last week. My doctor was an hour late for my appointment. He was late because he is a caring person who had just spent 1.5 hours with a distressed patient and his spouse. I didn't mind his lateness at all and told him it was not necessary to apologize. I go to him because he is a compassionate and empathetic human being.
