Btw If you and your family are in a low income neighborhood and short of money, there is such a thing as public assistance which you can apply for and you will be provided with a monthly allowance for groceries which you can even roll into TRADER JOES with and load up with as much organic **** as you like
EXCUSES, EXCUSES, EXCUSES.
Food is only half the battle.
I'm going to say what I have to say.
Education is key. I'm sure we all can agree on that. If we educate an unhealthy community, then a large amount will be inspired to change. There are those who don't, and natural selection will take care of that. It sounds harsh, but that is how it works. A slimmer shape can be maintained with a good diet and exercise, but it is a bit harder to do when you are heavily obese. It requires more time, and more energy, when simple tasks are already difficult. So when people say; "stop being fat" it's stupid, it doesn't work that way.
Education is key, but where here is anyone promoting any wellness to the obese population? Are you making websites, or making fliers, or however you would educate a group? Or are you sitting here on Niketalk posting images of fat people saying they are repulsive. That isn't educational, that is hurtful. I'd love it if you guys got together and planned some sort of event to promote wellness among the community. I'd join you.
But complaining that fat people are fat, and they are trying to cushion the blows of the daily hate they receive is just pointless. If you say we need education. Teach. Don't wait for Captain Planet to say "Hey guys, salad is awesome!" If you really believe education is key, which it is, teach. If you aren't willing to teach the next man about nutrition, don't complain about a lack of education.
As for discrimination. This is where I am not happy. There is nothing I can do to stop people from discriminating at a job, or out in public. You just can't teach that. This is where I believe certain "laws" need to be put in place. To stop further discrimination. The positive education, plus the equality among the people will promote wellness more than any hate, or pro-fat bill could.
Anti-bullying programs are definitely needed more than they are given in today's society. I've got a ten year old sister who sees this kind of nonsense on the daily. I wish she didn't have to see it, just as much as I wish that child wasn't pushed around. When there is a sixty-three percent higher chance of getting bullied do to childhood obesity, programs are needed. Or these kids are going to grow up feeling worthless, and depressed.
Do I agree with a pro-fat organization? No. Do I find obesity attractive? No.
However, I am against the hate.
Educate, and break discrimination patterns and you will have much better results than saying "stop being fat."
