"A quote I love:
My definition of a disease is a categorization…that has predictive power and, in some cases, enables causal inferences to be made. There remains the difficult but not insoluble problem of distinguishing disease from social deviance.
-Ian R. McWhinney, CMAJ, VOL. 136, APRIL 15, 1987
I’m preeeeetty sure that the whole OMGBESITY CRISIS!!!! is actually more about policing social deviance than it is about concern for our health."
I like her.
