Ah! The scent of my youth!

Oh god, the sprunch! Dear god, the sprunch...

It did smell good though, just reading the name gives me a faint smell memory.

I read the words "Aussie Sprunch Spray" and immediately could smell it. Those are some deep seeded, deeply gelled memories.

It's nice of you to be gracious about it, but if you replace the word "skinny/thin" with "fat" and said them to somebody else, they'd punch you in the face and nobody would say anything.

Yet somehow it's socially acceptable and not rude at all to go up to skinny/thin people and tell them your opinion about their…

THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU!1!!

I'm fairly convinced PETA is secretly funded by meat lobbyists a-la Phillip Morris/anti-smoking ads because there's no way an organization with a fairly sympathetic cause can consistently be SO BAD and/or abraisive when it comes to outreach. How can you consistently make people hate you when your only objective is to…

Maybe they should just republish Neil Gaiman's Babycakes?

Thank you. I've had a slightly underweight BMI for most of my life and I'm perfectly healthy and far from "skeletal" - I just have small bone structure relative to my height. Body hysteria sucks both ways, guys. You don't get to be all "you can't call morbidly obese people unhealthy, that's fat shaming!" and then…

Well, duh. It's totally acceptable to call a woman's body disgusting as long as it's because she's skinny.

I, personally, do not feel the slightest bit persecuted. I do, however, find the hypocrisy hilarious.
And you're wrong. Just a few threads above, there are a ton of people claiming that "it's different. " Because there aren't shows that pay people to gain weight. Or something.

Nope. People are flat out calling her "unhealthy looking." Pointing out that an overweight person "looks unhealthy" is the kiss of death on Jezebel, because "Oh, are you her doctor? No? Then shut the fuck up, concern troll! You can't tell anything about someone's health by looking at them!"

Thank you for this. I am with you all the way. If this article were reversed and people were 'concerned for her weight gain they would get out the torches and pitchforks. No such thing as 'unhealthily overweight' on Jezebel. They only snark on 'unhealthily thin'.

What exactly is 'logically unsound' about showing how discriminatory your comment is? You dislike the way she looks (regardless of her BMI, which you've chosen to ignore) and therefore think you can judge her health. That's no better than fat shaming, so don't kid yourself. It's not feminist.

Yeah that's what I'm getting too. It's infuriating, because I don't shame people for their weight when they're overweight or even comment on it. I assume it's none of my business and frankly I'm not a doctor so what the hell do I know? But apparently when a woman is underweight we can all concern troll her to our…

Pretty much all I'm getting from this article and the comments is that concern trolling someone's body/weight is totally fine as long as everyone agrees that she Much. Too. Thin. 'Kay.

"She's also an outlier in that at 5'4" and 105 lbs, her height-weight combination put her slightly below the threshold doctors who use the BMI scale would consider "healthy." She's also below what Weight Watchers would consider healthy for her height."

Interesting. So when it comes to overweight people, BMI is garbage…

1. Clay Aiken impressed me with that ad.

Meanwhile, I got into my pj's at 2 pm, just finished a chocolate bar, and am having a hard time keeping up with my nose's snot production. Whatevs, comme ci, comme ca.

I feel like its apples and oranges.
