You may have seen the whales v. mermaids post floating around in Facebook-land, if you haven't two birds re-posted it here. I saw it on Facebook and not surprisingly there were many nasty comments mixed in with the rest. Of course these nasty, fat-hate comments were hidden under the guise of health concern. (*sigh* as per usual)
Let's get something straight, people, health and fat are not directly correlated. Just like health and skinny are not directly correlated. One can be healthy and fat just like one can be skinny, or appear fit, and be unhealthy. Furthermore, genetics play a HUGE part in your health and your appearance. That's not to say that you can't make choices that play a part in those things, but to a certain extent.
Even furthermore, why is a perfect stranger's health any of YOUR concern?! And PLEASE don't bring up the cost of healthcare. Maybe I'm uneducated on the matter, but it has never crossed my mind that I was ever paying for the health care of all other Americans, or any, for that matter. (Oh, I'm sorry, are we just paying for the healthcare of the people that you've deemed "fat"? You're positive they don't have health insurance?) The last time I checked, if you need healthcare in America and you can't afford it, you're SOL, buddy. If someone wants to live an unhealthy lifestyle, that's their choice! They're not hurting anyone but themselves, so what's the big deal?!
What I'm getting at is we REALLY should butt out of people's business and their bodies. No one deserves to have their body up for discussion and judgment.
I think this about says it all -
