They left in wonky nose, crooked mouth, and stick out teeth, but took out the reference to fat? That's wild.

The fat is arguably the only fixable thing, or at least the cheapest. You can't "just stop eating so much" and fix a wonky nose or stick out teeth.

Calories aren't magic and hard to fathom.

Normalizing being overweight is going to kill a lot of people early.

It's really quite difficult to lose weight and keep it off. Certainly cheaper than dentistry, but still difficult. I read a book called 'Fat Chance' that goes into the science of why it's difficult.

I have little doubt that its difficult, but the point remains that you cant change your lifestyle to become “less ugly” (where ugly is a stand-in for unconventional features, like a crooked nose, yellow/wonky teeth, hunchback or what have you).
