Yes, managing ones own health and managing policy and resources relating to health are different things. She seams more than qualified to me. I wish Florida had someone half as competent as Surgeon General.
So what you’re saying is that this person is aware of the risks of obesity and doesn’t care, or doesn’t take the risks of obesity seriously. Either should make them ineligible to decide for other people’s health.
I’m saying that some people have one set of skills that is distinct from another. If they can help others, we should let them, regardless of whether they can help themselves. There’s far more to public health policy than knowing what diet is good for you. Besides knowing what diet is good for you and eating that diet yourself are very different.
My bad, I meant to reply to someone else actually.
But to your point, what I’m saying is that you should practice what you preach, just as I wouldn’t take Trump’s advice on how to be a business man, I won’t trust an unhealthy person on how to be healthy.

I mean just because someone is fat doesn’t mean they’re just disregarding their health. There are a lot of causes for obesity.
