Fat shaming

[Exterous]

Why should this automatically assumed to be "Fat Shaming"?

I have no idea

 

[Humpy]

Go ahead.

Shame me.

I give between zero and one fucks.

Way to take the fun out of it fucker.

If it doesn't lead to depression or at least some silent tears then what's the point?

If they ever actually get a job, they're going to have a shit-fit when they get emails every week telling them about their company's Active Lifestyle policy, financial rewards for losing weight, and offers for help keeping your New Years' Resolutions.

Sign should have read: "Exercise your mind, make a choice, own the results without bitching and STFU about it."

Fat shaming needs to be intensified on a national level. All fatties need to be taunted relentlessly. There's no excuse for it especially when it raises my healthcare costs.

I'm not going to say we need to go out of our way to fat shame everyone, but the way people are talking are trying to make it out to be illegal or something you should get fired for like racist statements.

It's ridiculous. You're fat. You eat too much. No, you don't have a rare disease, you just lack self control. The sooner you accept that the better off we will all be. Instead we are moving backwards in-time and are becoming "accepting" to being a fat lazy ass.

It's just a shame that handicap now means fatass. The last time I saw someone get out of a handicap parking spot that was ACTUALLY qualified for it was..... Oh, wait, never. I've never seen someone that is actually legitimately qualified to be using it. That's because people that should be using it have too much dignity to ever want to stoop to fat people's levels to get slightly closer parking. Fat people have no shame whatsoever in using that sticker. So now I just call it the fatass sticker.

Note: As a former fattie that used to weigh ~330 in my college days, I hold ZERO shame in calling people out.

We have signs at work that say, "Walking is work", and (I don't remember it exactly) suggest people take stairs instead of elevators. I take stairs whenever I can, its just better for you.

My assignment currently for college is to write an argumentative essay about "Is obesity a disease?". My online post about it didn't get any replies... probably made people mad that my opinion is that it is not a disease. But it can cause them.

so like half a fuck?

Fatties gonna fat.

That's terrible. Sounds like something you would take up with the labor board of the DOL. I sure wouldn't put up with that crap. That's like discrimination.

 

[thejunglegod]

Getting offended is the new "COOL"

 

[Ichinisan]

Some people need to be shamed. Those kids...

 

[soulcougher73]

We should tax fatties for their sins like we do alcohol and cigs....

 

[pauldun170]

Sounds pretty typical for any environment.
You see this in corporate life as well. At least with big boy companies run by adults.

"Multiple reports" concerning a poster probably means 1 fat girl who is a member of some body image group on campus made a big deal to the 4-10 fat friends in the group and convinced them to write letters. Probably the result of one idiot in the group making an off the cuff comment and then the "noise maker" in the group getting them worked up.
Probably with several gallons of diet coke in the room.

This doesn't start in college.
This starts in the home when they are children, where parents set the tone.

I've said multiple times on AT, being fat is objectively worse than being not fat. This is simply indisputable.

That's also a reason why Trump was a bad elect. He's a GD fatass.

 

[John Connor]

wrong thread

I never stick around hunting for a spot so close to the store either. I'd rather park quickly and walk. It's probably faster overall anyways.

I drove to the recreation center the other day to drop my son off for basketball practice. We get there, I park out fairly far so it's easier to leave. We get out and start walking to the front. I noticed a car driving around looking for a spot as we got up to the front of the lot. They had circled a few times and were still looking. I go in, drop my son off, BS with the coach a bit, and leave. On the way out, I saw the person sitting there with their blinker on, waiting to pull into a spot that someone was vacating. SMH.. If they would have just parked out a bit and walked in, they would already have been ahead of the game.

It isn't a fat / non-fat graph with one side better than the other. I'll dispute it on multiple grounds:
1) Being too thin is dangerous (anorexia, bulimia, malnutrition, etc are not known to be healthy).
2) Being thin is often associated with several diseases (late stage diabetes for example).
3) Being thin is often good for a while, but you have few reserves for when things do go wrong later in life, so your life expectancy is lessened.

All three are different causes, but the net result is that the longest living people tend to be in the overweight category. One of many studies showing that:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4115619/
"Normal BMI ranges from 18.5 to 24.9; many epidemiological studies show an inverse relationship between mortality and BMI inside the normal BMI range. Other studies show that the lowest mortality in the entire range of BMI is obtained in the overweight range (25–29.9)."

Translation: if you are normal weight, you are better off being on the heavy side of normal. But those in the overweight range have even lower mortality than you.

Now, being morbidly obese is a terrible thing too. This is a U-shaped graph with the lowest mortality being the slightly overweight category.

I work at a college. Out of the thousands of people there, probably a couple or few are turning this in to an issue. And there probably isn't any correlation to their politics. Just sensitive, angry large folks.

FTFY
I've worked at multiple Universities and the ONLY ones who raise these sort of problems are the Greeks. You could eliminate 50% or more of all college infighting by banning fraternities and sororities.

Way to nanny state your opinion.

That might explain why my doctor has set a goal for me that is decidedly above a BMI of 25. I have a lot of muscle, but even factoring that in the goal is closer to 30 than 25. When I get there I think I'll do a real BMI test instead of the electronic guesstimate they do in-office.
