Amputation(s)

One of the many things we've been taught during this 'war' against fatsuity is that an amputation is not an amputation if it is in service of trying to make calorie restriction induced weight-loss work. "NHS diabetic foot and toe amputations up 26%, Labour research claims".

Unusual to see modifiers "foot" and "toe" (why the latter isn't included in the former is anyone's guess). It had to though didn't it, because the war on fatsuits is pressing people to amputate their healthy stomachs, but is rather coy on the matter; "Offer weight loss surgery to diabetics"
What is bariatric surgery?
A range of techniques are used, but they are usually all based on the principle of surgically altering the digestive system so it takes less food and makes the patient feel fuller quicker after eating.
Ooh my giddy aunt. If that headline was written in the same fashion-
NHS diabetic foot and toe surgical alterations to bipedal bone structure, to save the patient from dying. 

Making the patient feel fuller quicker after eating and dying. You be the judge on which is and isn't appropriate use of amputation. "Weight loss surgery cuts diabetes risk in very obese", see how they snuck in "very" there? They don't offer it to only very, and verys become too very to be operated on. Best of all though perhaps, that should read;
"Amputation, cuts the risk of amputations". 😆

The National Health Service, which should be relabelled the National Punishment Enforcement Bureau, when it comes to targeted individuals, doesn't want to call amputation in the service of "feeling fuller quicker after eating" amputation. It wants to call it surgical alteration which isn't untrue.....

Incidentally, weight loss surgery/bariatric or treatment for fatsuittery should be called what it is (for), calorie restriction mutilation. It doesn't exist to save you, it exists to (try and) save your ability to starve yourself.

Nothing could express more a purported solution's unsuitability for the human body, than the body requires a "re-design" merely to put it into effect.
