Obese is a medical term though and Dr ... PhD should know that.
Not necessarily, a PhD isn't a medical degree
Ok I looked her up, I had to know.
She's a "fat-affirming" dietitian and her PhD is in "body positive medicine"
Her name is a blatant pun.
I don't think I'm reaching when I say not only is the account fake, this person doesn't exist, but that it was made to make fun of fat people.
Sooo you're saying it's understandable for someone with a PhD to not have basic common knowledge?
I mean, sure. As someone who recently went back to school and is around a bunch of PhD and PhD students, they're really, really smart... about their specific area of study. But more than some of them are fucking stupid when it comes to other, normal things
I've got one, and there are many many thing I'm an idiot on
Oh yeah. A PhD means you hyperspecialized for years. You get one by being the expert and advancing your field in, usually, one tiny tiny area. For anything that isn't that tiny area? Likely to be a stupid as anyone.
