Growing up fat isn’t something you get to “choose”. This isn’t a Krispy Kreme drive-thru. I can’t exactly order the kind of body I want off the menu.
The problem lies within the system. Systemic fat phobia tries to weigh down larger happier people. I'll feel much SAFER when I can order food inside a restaurant instead of having to order through the drive-thru because of judgment and discrimination.
Whenever I go to Mcdonald's I like to order a Big Mac combo meal with extra Big Mac sauce, Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese combo meal, 2 Deluxe Crispy Chicken sandwiches w/ BBQ sauce, never spicey because spicey food gives me heartburn, and 3 Apple Pies with a Carmel Sundae on the side. Everything is super-sized with diet cokes of course.
I truly hope these delinquents or "pranksters" as you call them completely stop these heinous acts. Any time I see crop circles in the news I can't help but think, what a waste of food.
Obese became a slur the moment we started treating larger people worse than POC in this country.
Skinny women might fit the beauty standard, but I have a bigger heart.
If you took my post as mocking larger people then maybe the problem is within yourself. Your reply comes off as very discriminatory and fatphobic. I made a promise to never stop standing up against fatphobic people, but my ankles hurt a little so I’m going to sit down for now.
I'm sorry if I offended you but maybe the problem is that you are fatphobic.
Well, maybe it is a term we should consider changing. It's a crude and very offensive word to people of a healthier nature. Calling a person that is thicker than you obese isn't any different than calling the Washington football team Redskins or using a pancake syrup that represents a stereotype that is premised on the idea of Black inferiority and otherness.
