It feels somewhat remarkable that someone in the anti-fat-shaming movement would even begin to acknowledge that there could be health risks associated with clinical obesity. So often I see body positivity activists and evangelists challenge even the notion that there could be adverse health outcomes associated with,…

The people who grew up on Paris Hilton can’t afford to buy homes, the rest don’t know who she is.  Good luck to all involved.
