I disagree.

Never before in the human history has one been able to enjoy obesity with as little scorn as one receives today. The push to be more accepting of obesity is as rampant as it is absurd. This guy was in a literal Freak Show in 1900 for his obesity. Now people would think he's normal-ish.

And equally absurd…

Other peoples' obesity does affect you though, in many ways. The economic power wielded by the obese majority makes shitty food even cheaper than it already was, and healthy food even more expensive. The options available to you are being manipulated by the habits of the majority.

And that's only one example.

if you think my previous comment has nothing to do with the topic at hand, then i'm fine with us being done here.

At 5'1", 95 pounds does not put you at supermodel levels of skinny. The 95-116 weight range for your height is a medical determination, not my own preference.

When undereating is causing a health crisis in the country we can talk about it. Until then I'll focus on overeating, which affects more than half of everyone…

No citation needed.

But speaking of shaming, you should be embarrassed.

It's a travesty when people in this country who do have access to a Phd are speaking from a self-imposed position of authority to the largely under-educated, largely economically-disadvantaged obese, and telling them "It's okay honey just keep…

Big shocker: a therapist. As you know psychologists are neither real doctors nor real scientists. Although I'm sure you do a great job at making people feel better about themselves, regardless of whether they deserve to feel better about themselves. It's your job after all.

You owe it to society and to yourself understand things at a rudimentary level without reading it in a medical journal. Fuck you for being an obtuse, elitist cunt.

And also, fuck you and your professional-internet-arguing ilk for believing you're superior because you google "facts" which are really just your…

Undereating is not a problem worth discussing. This country is more than 50% overweight. Something like 2% of Americans are underweight and that includes people who are simply slightly less than the ideal weight. A tiny percentage of that 2% are small because of eating disorders.

Also, at 5'1" tall your ideal body…

Undereating is not a problem worth discussing. Why, in a country that is more than 50% overweight (and only 2% underweight), do we continually harp on this?

Also, at 5'1" your ideal weight range is 95-116 pounds.

There is no moving forward if stating obvious facts is considered "weird, ill-informed hatred".

1. Oh it's not in the DSM?! I guess overeating is okay then. The DSM is a crock of shit that has at times considered homosexuality a mental disorder.
2. It's absolutely relevant and it's not cruel. It's a fact; get used to it.
3. The most rudimentary retard-level common sense is somehow lost on you. Let me go scan…

being ignorant is not an excuse, it's just a reason.

fat complacency is one billion times more dangerous than fat shaming.

1. overeating is, in fact, the most prevalent eating disorder
2. yes she was fat because she ate vastly more calories than she burned, which is true for every overweight mammal who has ever walked the earth
3. yes, she was cured by being shamed for it. and conversely, normalizing obesity is dangerous and stupid. …

Yes, but not on Skid Row. ;-)

How does an idiot dress? The dress code as described in this article is a pretty good place to start.

People have insane entitlement issues nowadays.

skid row is like ONE BLOCK away from Cole's, Varnish, Las Perlas, et al.

literally the next block over is tent city. when i go there by car that's where I park. just like everybody else.

overeating is an eating disorder.

policemen are horrific. avoid them at all costs.

I agree that the term "wrongfully convicted" is misused in this case. Plenty of people end up in jail for crimes they had no involvement in (which is part of why i am against the death penalty).

Sorry about your buddy.
