One question: Why is America using fat people as an escapegoat? I do not understand and no we are not responsible for the economy. Anyway, I am not going to read that article because she does not deserve my undivided attention.

I just want all this fat discrimination to stop; it is really hurting people. Especially, the children and teenagers. America’s opinion about body image and fat is so bad. It is really tiring and frustrating at times but we must continue to move forward in our “movement”. There is a reason why eating disorders exist and you know what…I do not think it will ever go away not as long as people’s horrible perception of the human body exist.

What an outrage! She needs to be educated. Because the things she wrote are narrow-minded and intolerant. She couldn’t even try to be tactful or respectful. She just went on and on and on.

@Marie Denee - there was so much ignorance in that article. the author is so wrong for writing what she claims to be helpful. i hope she uses her next oppurtunity to share her thoughts as a time of research about the real facts as well as a time of reflection on herself and her choices.

I read it. I spotted the muckraking for exactly what it was, and walked away. People like this don’t even deserve the energy it costs to respond. It’s just concern trolling on a bigger level – there is no concern for fat people at all, just disdain and disrespect. People who are truly concerned have compassion and respect.
