Undeterred, Fuad is back...with more obesity advice

Member of Parliament for Barataria/San Juan, Dr Fuad Khan is undeterred by the outrage by many over his comments on obesity and his criticism of a particular woman’s size.

Today he issued a statement on the “Need for People to Take Responsibility for their Own Health”.

He said that the issue in Tobago concerning the insufficient space to facilitate the growing number of patients who need dialysis is not surprising given the increase in Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases (CNCD) in the country over the past two decades.

“While the Secretary for Health in the Tobago Health Authority is scrambling to find a solution to the immediate problem however, the fact remains that as long as our citizens continue to disregard their health this CNCD epidemic will continue to plague our country and monopolize our public health resources. The only way to prevent this from happening is to educate and inform the populace how they can take care of their health and prevent the need for these types of treatment in the future”.

Khan, a former minister of health, said more than half the country’s adult population is overweight or obese.

Primary prevention, education and all that is a basic in as much as a Gov't also has a moral and fiscal responsibility to provide adequate health care and appropriate facilities for its citizens.
Bio psycho socio cultural changes take several generations to happen, if at all. Banning KFC, McDonald's, Burger King, processed foods, no cigarettes, no alcohol and whatever else!! Stop eating bread, roti, rice, provisions....blah, blah, blah ain 't gonna happen. not everyone can afford or have the taste for grilled fish and veggies.
Is he now passing the blame to the current population for a problem that has been there for at least half a century or more?
It is still a cop out to attack the population for Gov't's impotence in the meantime to provide adequate care. Attack is the best form of defense of his impotence?
Scapegoating.

Having said all that, irregardless of his agenda, my issue is about him brutally, savagely abusing that "proppa sized gyal" who all she wanted to do was play mass. Very animalistic, primitive. A brute and a criminal in my mind.
No manners or respect, probably not specific to him alone, based on response here condoning that unprofessional shit hole behavior, unbefitting a human much less someone purporting to provide health care.

What has been enlightening is that the whole peanut gallery laughed to see such fun.
Machoness or machismo will pull the primitive beasts out from their shit hole.
Maybe he is hoping to win by being a macho, aka bully and ignoramus. The natives love it so!
