RE: Fat Acceptance is Bullshit

in #health7 years ago

I think what's missing here is nuance of the situation. Lets take a woman who is 5'9" and 175 pounds. BMI says she's overweight, she does have some extra fat on her, but all her vitals are good and is overall healthy. She should be able to so say, you know what, I like my body, some people might say I'm fat but fuck them.

Now if she were 275 pounds it becomes a different question. No one is really healthy at that BMI. It's really only a very small subset of people who are pushing this condition to be normalized and they should be ignored like most fringe groups.

I see this a lot, conflating a fringe part of a group with the views of the larger group. All BLM is about is an excuse to riot! All conservatives are neo-Nazis! All Muslims are terrorists!There's idiots in every group, don't let them detract from the larger message.
