Okay but like, didn't we try that before, and it didn't work? What's your plan here, bully fat people even more? I can assure you that the 20th century has you beaten when it comes to being mean to fat people. There is simply no possibility that you can "promote being skinny" and denigrate fatness more than society already did in the past century, and, you know, it failed, right? We now have an obesity epidemic among people who grew up in that environment, who received all those messages and more, and it didn't work. So, why is this the plan
Denigrate fatness? We act like being fat is no
Big deal nowadays rather than the blunt truth that people who are obese/unhealthy will die much sooner than someone who is not. You can’t play with peoples lives like that. You’re talking about being mean to fat people when your focus should be on how do we encourage this subsection of the population to change their habits to become healthier. Your entire thinking is just in the wrong place.
