For example, how crazy would this sound: “Oh, right, next those MDs are going to pathologize us all and tell us that everyone gets sick. Just because I caught the flu last year and was diagnosed with obesity this year, now I’m ‘sick’ and need ‘treatment’–what’s next, prescription drugs for everyone?”
