You don’t support judging beauty but you do support contests where they judge beauty.

You’re so deep and nuanced.

I can’t believe how heartless keith’s ex is. I mean wtf leaving his sweet gifts behind. Did she find out he is secretly a serial killer or something??

Hey how did Ralphie May die? Was it fat shaming - related or..?

I know reading isn't your thing.

So I will excuse this failure in reading comprehension.

Well just look at him. Obviously he was suicidal and just wanted to die. Or maybe he was just so dumb that he couldn't stop bringing his hand up to his mouth.

Where do these fat people get off? The nerve of them to die.

Maybe another fat joke will help them realize the error in their ways.

Or maybe he simply didn’t know any better. Sometimes they just don’t know. We can’t assume his privilege.

Yep, the key is to just be unrationally angry at fat people for having the nerve to exist.

Who do they think they are?

i loved Ralphie May. His Just Correct album is one of my favorites of all time.

He didn't have to die, at age 44, with a wife and two kids. He ballooned to 800 lbs and had a heart attack. The human body is NOT designed to handle hundreds of pounds! Obesity affects mood. It's a tremendous strain on organs. Obviously.

I agree you should not make over weight people feel like shit about their weight. It's just gonna trigger them into eating more. That's their coping mechanism. But addressing weight needs to happen. It might have saved poor Ralphie's life!!!

Looks matter. If you're a meth head you look sick. If you're obese; you look sick. Any Atheist should be able to understand. You're human but you're still animal. What do pack animals do when something looks sick? They notice. They respond. It's evolutionary biology.

We need to figure out obesity. Cheering them on and BS-ing them into embracing their early death is not the way.

Ralphie never got the news about fried food and desserts, and no one in his life informed him. He had a different television than the rest of us - the kind that the not privileged have that Mermaid was referring to.

Even those assholes on Celebrity Fit Club wouldn't tell him!

R.I.P.

Obese people know the health risks of being obese more than anyone.

Why?

Cause people are constantly angrily telling them.

However, there isn't a cure for obesity. If their hunger hormone signals are permanently damaged there is no known treatment.

Like I said in the other thread, diets are scientificly proven as ineffective treatment for obesity. They fail over 95% of the time. If any other medical treatment failed that often (and caused the opposite effects as often) as diets do, it would never be suggested.

But because medicine is slower than research and a majority of doctors finished school decades before current research on diet alternatives, they keep prescribing diets.

There is currently no cure for obesity.

Use of willpower is finite and actually causes an increase in calorie intake due to binging.

People are literally shaming people for having a disease with no cure.

Yes, people cheer larger bodied people on. They are constantly bashed for existing. They deserve to love themselves just like everyone else. They deserve confidence just like everyone else. They deserve to feel included and loved and lusted after and heard, just like everyone else.
