[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2393780, member: 480869"] I do think there’s world’s of difference between celebrating something you see as a personal success in terms of health goals, offering people the ability to eat in their chosen manner* and the dismissal, disbelief and shaming of people for their size and assuming they are simply lying or lazy when they are doing all they can to be healthy. Apart from being just plain nasty the obvious problem with the latter is that we don’t know why people are overweight or what they are doing about it and will end up vilifying those that deserve it least of all. We also need to not become so fat activist/deniers that we ignore the reality that excess weight can cause problems healthwise in many instances and are too scared to address the resulting problems for fear of being called fattist. As everything some basic respect for people and a balance is required. *Demi lovarto sugar free ice cream story currently doing the rounds - shaming low sugar dieters/accusations of hating obese people [/QUOTE]
