So you're saying that eating an excessive amount of fruits and vegetables has the same effect on your heart as drinking cokes and eating Big Macs? All food is the same, nutritional value be damned?

How is that relevant as to which is more likely to cause misery and death?

How many people have died from bad botox?

Fast food overconsumption = psychological addiction/social programming, with the exception of the rare cases of people who do not produce the hormone (fuck if I can remember what it's called) that tells them to stop eating because they're full.

Different poisons, same method. Fatty, unhealthy foods have a higher chance for systemic issues (diabetes, high blood pressure and other cardiovascular issues, gastrointestinal problems, etc. etc.), but in both cases the parents are teaching the child that such excess is ok. Botox was something designed for ADULTS who are already at the age of developing wrinkles. The only thing it does for a child is effectively sever her ability to show any emotion on her face (and possibly lead to permanent damage down the line... injection goes wrong, maybe the right side of her face is now permanently slack). So aside from affecting her own self esteem (she can't be "good enough" without the injections, or, one could argue down the line, other cosmetic interventions), her ability to communicate with others is now hindered because something most people don't realize is how much expression plays into social interaction.

Different overall effects, certainly. One may be worse in the long run in terms of overall health.. but I think there is a LOT more in the way of support for fat people than there is for those who are addicted to beauty. And in that regard.. this child is probably fucked for life. All because of a twisted parent.

I never said it would have 100% the same effects. Simply that if you bust the body's daily requirements you are going to get fat. Be it cheesesteaks or rice cakes. A "fact" you were recklessly parading around without the whole story
