A Monday mood: pondering the “trauma of interacting with the medical system,” as specifically and intelligently detailed in this HuffPost Highline investigative piece, Everything You Know About Obesity Is Wrong. Read it for the well-worded truth bombs like the line about how we’ve become “a country where daily exercise has become a luxury and eating well has become extortionate,” stay for the revelation that food is fucked, medical knowledge is kind of fucked, and judging other people’s physical mass is exquisitely fucked
And if you’re REALLY in that mood, we took the weekend to work through this award-winning monster of a Time cover story from 2013, which will give you every reason to cringe at the words “chargemaster” for the rest of your life. Read it and weep/figure out how to get some rich people insurance, you guys.
