3. I give zero fucks about the standard of beauty. I am fat, black ,blind chick, I never had a chance of reaching the beauty standard in first place so fuck it. And I'm not here to please het men. I'd rather geek over HP fan fics anyway.
4. The psuedo concern for the health of fat people is wearing my last nerve. At least the Arbour chick was real about being a bitch.
5. Obesity causes the same amount of strain on the healthcare system as smokers, drinkers, people with eating disorders but because we're unsightly we get nagged the most.
I agree that you should love yourself, no matter what, but that doesn't mean accepting and/or being proud of your own unhealthiness. Basically, what I'm against is a movement that tells unhealthy people that "you're okay how you are and you don't need to change" when that simply is not true.
My concern for obese individuals is real. I honestly do not want anyone to experience immobility and poor health, especially if it is something that is within their power to avoid.
As far as overweight individuals being nagged the most, sorry, that's just not true. Watch television for any amount of time or check out some billboards and you'll see cigarette smokers depicted in some extremely unfavorable and often grotesque ways. I am also against people using tobacco, but why is it apparently okay to rail against one particular health concern with such fervor while ignoring another?
