In Case You're Wondering: Fat Advocacy
Tuesday, 22 April 2008 12:41In case you're wondering why there is a fat acceptance movement, this is it. Don't quote statistics about obesity, or diets, or weight gain and heart disease. You're lying to yourselves. The real reason you hate fat people and want them to be thin has nothing to do with their health, or even with you're tax money. The only reason you hate fat people and want them to lose weight is because you don't like looking at them.
Stop figleafing. There is no moral high ground here. There is no concern for public welfare, no social issue, no fiscal issue. You just think you have the right not to look at people who you find physically unappealing. And I don't care how much of a majority you are, because it doesn't matter if most people think fat is ugly and skinny is pretty. Don't like what you're seeing? Look away.
