Really? Insisting that children, who are nominally under the supervision and control of their parents and other responsible adults, eat healthfully or exercise is counterproductive? That's absurd. In your world, there is literally nothing you can do to keep your kids from being fat as children, and therefore (likely)…

" It's hard to see how we can help kids stay healthy until society gets its fat hate under control." This is so, completely, utterly wrong.

"This job requires tradeoffs and is not perfect, and therefore is lamentable" is a spectacularly dumb argument.

Anything to avoid eating healthy and exercising! #USA #USA #USA!

The "faux altruism" you got called out for was the blatant insincerity of: "Lena is sooo perfect and gorgeous and NOT fat just the way she is!! (but send us photos of her without photoshop so we can post them and other people can judge how ugly and chubby she is and we can get clicks) xoxo".

As a "journalist", you have an obligation to mention that the video you link to is affiliated with your boyfriend.

The sparkly pastel tweedy suits with running shoes looks are very Jewish grandmother in Florida attending a spring bat mitzvah.

Actually, her twitter response was much better: "Way cooler when people do things out of pure blind spite than out of faux altruism". Faux altruism describes this whole shitshow perfectly.

This is what we call "Gumby green".

For some reason this whole look is giving me Nina Ricci by Olivier Theyskens. And I like it.

Your pretense that "omg, Lena looks amazing unretouched" isn't fooling anyone. Nice try at completely insincere body positivity, tho.

Sorry, I don't negotiate with retards. You are the dumbest link, goodbye!

YOU QUOTE THE ARTICLE SAYING "BASICALLY THIS IS A GAME OF LEGAL HARDBALL" IN YOUR COMMENT. Omg, I can't. You don't even know what you said in your own comment. New low! Congrats! Are you in a frat? Because I'm pretty sure you're stupid and drunk.

HAHAHA you're so wrong. If you bothered to read the article that you commented so passionately on, you'd know that the "legal hardball" maneuver was bringing the suit against "86 current and former members of the college's chapter", even though they have no involvement with the accident.

And suing people who weren't driving the van and had a tenuous connection, at best, with the incident accomplishes that how?

Hamilton Nolan objects to your simplistic view of HBCs.

So it is possible for her to wear flattering clothes.

But I don't think people have questioned whether those male anti-heroes have a right to exist on television, which is what Khouri seems to be talking about here.

Eh, "likable" and "flawed" or "realistically depicted" are not mutually exclusive. I generally prefer fiction that presents characters that are, to some degree, likable—most people in real life have likable qualities, so it feels more authentic than someone who's completely villainous, and it's easier to care about…

Skinny-fat is 100% a thing. —Skinny fat.
