OMG! How can we live with all this fat acceptance? And lesbians! This is soooo offensive I might cry.

Seriously...



I've never understood "fat acceptance". Is your view that having more fat people in the media will help other fat people fell better about themselves? I have sympathy for them and understand that for some people it can be very difficult to lose weight, but I don't see how "fat acceptance" is going to help them. Especially given that on some level they must know how others really feel about it. It's interesting to see how these types of initiatives always produce the opposite of what they claim to stand for.

Did it occur to you to ask them what they want?

> Especially given that on some level they must know how others really feel about it.

It's not healthy to assign your self-value based on other people's opinions.

On a more serious note, mental health is a very serious issue with women who feel they need to be thin to be fiscally healthy or attractive to others. Girls should never go through this.
