they are now choosing to change the terms because it clearly hurts people feelings is all

And? Choosing a more positive approach demonstrably improves results. So even with your insulting framing of the issue, "changing the terms because it hurts peoples feelings" ultimately results in those people doing better. Then here you are, apparently arguing that we continue to "hurt peoples feelings," which has an objective negative impact on their efforts to improve their lifestyle. Do you care about results, or do you care about being able to "hurt peoples feelings?"

No, the entire premise of your argument has been that cjs is "lying" when he says people have fat rather than are fat.

There's nothing positive about trying to change word definitions.

Language is constantly evolving. What's your point?

Personally, I find it very interesting that the citations from AMA have been ignored, except to complain about not being able to insult people. It's almost like I called it with my first post itt.
