0:00.0 | Good morning, everybody. |
0:02.0 | Great question from Facebook. |
0:03.9 | Somebody says, very unoriginal question. |
0:05.7 | If an obese person, e.g. with Hashimoto's, has to exercise seven times more for seven hours a day, as chat GPT says, compared to one hour of exercise for a happier person, is it permissible to criticize such fat people? |
