"I'm afraid we as a society are Normalizing Obesity" isn't "Hate Speech"
But it is judgmental, and conceited to think that you know better than the people whose pictures you're judging, without a medical license/upfront experience with these people.

So, ignore her.

Help the Facebook mods solve real crimes/dilemmas, please.

You're supposed to care because being fit isn't normal anymore.

She's an aberration, and we all know what happens to those that don't fit in....

They get fit shamed, lose their self esteem, and end up banging dudes like me? Excellent. I like the way you think.

If you have time to go on the Today Show, you have time to work out more, fatty.  It's all about how you utilize your time.  While on the show (in November) you weren't working out nor were you raising your children properly.  And now, because of the rules, you shall be known as Unfit Mom.

They can be fat where ever, but I don't like being shamed because I don't find fat chicks sexy.

Although the impotent rage that comes from fatties who are reminded that they're fat amuses me.

See now if she was fat herself, this wouldn't be happening.  Because people like her think they're going to live forever being thin and fit and perfect.  But suddenly what happens if she gets in an injury where she's in bed for 6 months?  What if she gets depressed and starts to overeat?  Lot's of things can happen, and she should in all honesty, keep her mouth shut, because it may just come back to bite her hard someday.

Fat people die earlier and make healthcare cheaper for everyone.  You have no legitimate reason for hating them.  The reason you do hate them is because you hate yourself and are terrified of becoming fat yourself.

It's hilarious.

Opinions are like assholes - they all stink, and keep it to yourself unless/until you get the green light to plumb the depths of "opinion".

And yes, this means that she who fires the first "volley" is going to get the most scorn. "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool..." and all that.

Yeah, I know this is Fark...but.  You're part of "the problem".  "The Problem" is that we in this country can't separate the intellectual understanding that being overweight is a problem that should be corrected, from self esteem.

An overweight person should understand that they are overweight, and work to correct that situation, and not feel like they are a horrible person.  But since we can't make that separation we end up with the "Fat is Fine" morons that won't even allow for the fact that being fat is bad; and the "You're a lazy lard ass" dipshiats who think that is the right motivator to help people lose weight.   We need to get over his self-esteem crap and fix the problems.  Saying "you should be ashamed" doesn't help, it just makes you a dick.

Seriously, if your kid was having problems with math in school, do you think the right approach would be to tell them "Your problem is that you're a moron.  You should be ashamed that you don't study enough, and other kids are smarter than you."?  I'm guessing they won't do any better in math....

"Kang's comments didn't deserve to be banned, even if they weren't the most enlightened or sensitive."

She said, ""While I think it's important to love and accept your body, I was a little peeved because while I feel like it's ok to love and accept your body, I think that we're normalizing obesity in our society."

I can't disagree there.  The whole "Fat Acceptance" thing is bullshiat.  It's telling you that these people are sexy and healthy and you're an asshole if you say otherwise.  Or, as they say in the article, they're "sexy as hell".

Dr Dreidel: And yes, this means that she who fires the first "volley" is going to get the most scorn. "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool..." and all that.


Well, it was the Fat Acceptance people who went after her first, when she posted her "What's your excuse?" thing to her own wall, to be seen by her followers, who are likely to be fellow fitness buffs.  I don't blame her for firing back, and what she said was incredibly tame compared to the "Curvy Girls" eye rape.

fat people may have shorter lives, but the time they spend are usually filled with diabetes, heart problems, a slew of other ailments and rascals...lots and lots of rascals.

So the solution is to say, "It's okay if you write down "potato" as an answer to "2 + 2", don't let those moron-shaming shiatlords get you down, you can be a math major no matter what your answer is!

And then hand the kid a participation trophy.

"Fit Mom" can't accept that she's just being a biatch.

You don't encourage people by insulting, gloating, and flaunting. If she's trying to encourage people, she's failing miserably and needs to re-think her messaging.

To put it in her terms: If you have time to complain, you have time to understand and fix the problem.

Nope.  You're being ridiculous.  WE ARE NORMALIZING OBESITY.  In fact, it's already done.  There is nothing what so ever judgmental about that, nor is it conceited to point it out to others.

Just because YOU are too ignorant to know what most of those words mean, and how they apply to the real world doesn't make it judgmental or conceited in the slightest.  It just makes you an idiot.

What needs to happen here is that we need to tell people that are unhappy with their bodies that it is THEIR GOD DAMN FAULT, and if they don't like it, they should do something about it.  There is nothing wrong with making people take responsibility for their actions (or lack of).

It also wouldn't hurt for people to give a few less farks what other people think about the way they look.  But so many of the people complaining here are the same kind that buy all the fashion magazines, and people, and whatever and then lament the media projected image of sexy.  Stop consuming the media, and all the sudden your self image is improved... AMAZING.

No? Don't have enough going on in your lives to feel good about otherwise?
