So is he???

If he were a human and not a mannequin, he'd probably have a dad bod since he's a middle aged man.

This question got me interested in what specifically is defined as plus size and I looked it up and sadly didn't get any specific answer.

Infants are given a vitamin k shot at birth because they cannot synthesize vitamin k or get it from their diets, it is vital in preventing vitamin deficient bleeding which can cause death or permanent brain damage. Administering the injection is a bog standard preventative measure done on newborns immediately after birth, usually automatically. More and more parents are denying it and more and more babies are having totally preventable complications in their first 6 months of life just because the vitamin k shot has a black box warning. Doctors are repeatedly trying to explain to parents that babies need vitamin k and parents just keep asking “Why? Why are babies born needing vitamin k? Humans survived for thousands of years before it was invented. This must be a conspiracy.”

Infants, the human life stage notorious for randomly dying with no easily discernible cause. I don’t say that to be flippant, human babies are so incredibly fragile that before the modern era, about half of them died before adulthood. That is a natural 50/50 of making it. Humans did not evolve to be perfectly designed and efficient, we are just functional enough for some of us to survive to adulthood and reproduce. We don’t have to live like that! Looking at the human body through the lens of infallible intelligent design and allowing that to inform your medical decisions is so fucking dangerous.

"Well if childbirth is so dangerous, how did humans survive so long?"

Because 1 in 100 is not an extinction-level rate of maternal mortality, next question.

"What do you think people did before Vitamin K shots if babies are so vulnerable?"

Infant mortality was 16.5% in 1900 and even higher before that, next question.

"Women have been giving birth for thousands of years, don't you think they know how to do it by now?"

Women have been dying in childbirth for thousands of years, next question.

Stuff like this always makes me remember how sensationalized the ​“hide your kids, hide your wife” video was, also known as the “bedroom intruder meme” 🗿.
