FAT Shaming

I’m 5’11 165lbs so I have no issues but I do feel like the seats coouuuld be a bit bigger. I thought if you were a certain size you had to buy two seats but I doubt that ever gets enforced especially in today’s sensitive climate.

I'm sure folks want to make that a fat thing but that's more corporate greed.

As time progresses
As this thread grows post by post, page by page

I am thoroughly even more convinced that the tolerance (and acceptance/lack of fat shaming) for the fat community is a net negative for society, as well as for the fat community itself. I just want my fat brothers and sisters to live longer and thrive b

Someone change my mind

What this thread fails to do is properly distinguish between those advocating for fat tolerence (don't be mean/target fat people, dont hate yourself because you're fat, you are not intrinsically an amoral person because you are fat) and those advocating far more extreme positions (fat is healthy/more healthy, fat is always beautiful, there is nothing I can do about my weight).

Tolerance is fine, the extreme positions perpetuate negative negative societal dynamics just reversed. This coming from someone who has been large and is now in shape.

Re: airline stats of “20% think seats are too small”

Probably a terribly misleading survey

I’m not fat at all and I would answer “yes seats too small” why? Bc I want more room. Why not.

My issue is "Fat Acceptance" will somehow (if it already hasn't) become another political battle.

Not sure why it should be.

I’m attracted to morbidly obese trans women with a large penis. Happy I’m able to speak out openly.

Men are partially to blame for this obesity acceptance in our society. I've seen obviously overweight women get downplayed as simply being "thick". Why would they have any motivation to lose weight if they think that's what (some) men want?

Eh, I think it is as simple as they are another untapped money spending demographic that has been ignored for a while.

There is always an economic reason things are promoted in society. It isn't the powers that be feeling noble and all-inclusive.

Yall should start this exact same thread and bring the same disdain and overall energy for cigarette smokers

There isn’t a “cigarette acceptance” movement though

 

[datznasty]

Fat people dont affect anyone other than themselves tho (you could argue by proxy maybe their friends, and family if they encourage the same eating habits but the same would also apply to smoking anyways and to a greater extent), just being in the vicinity of someone else who smokes and not smoking yourself because you know better, still kills over 41,000 Americans and approximately 1.2 million people worldwide per yr (with smoking accounting for 8million total).

I really wasn't joking about the climate change thing. Overconsumption impacts everyone


Obese people produce more carbon dioxide than those of normal weight, the researchers said.

Also, obese people consume greater quantities of food and beverages that need to be produced and transported to them, and transportation of obese people requires more consumption of fossil fuels. This means higher carbon dioxide emissions related to food production and transportation for obese people, the study authors explained.

The researchers estimated that obesity contributes to an extra 700 megatons of carbon dioxide emissions per year worldwide, or about 1.6% of all human-caused emissions.

Overall, being obese is associated with about 20% more greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide) than being a normal weight, according to the study published online Dec. 20 in the journal Obesity

Obesity and When to Seek Help

A person is considered obese when his or her weight is 20% or more above normal weight. WebMD takes a look at obesity and some solutions.

Where u from b

I feel like there isn't even that many cig smokers in the US

 

[slaughterx]

Fat people are the cause of global hunger...

I mean greedy people are really, but fat = greed if we are being honest here.

 

[datznasty]

But the data suggests otherwise, not to mention vaping which would provide all the same negatives except it at least doesnt stink as much

You can do it yourself, why wait on someone else?
