Be nicer to fat people!

When somebody writes a similar article about being nice to skinny people then I'll oblige.

These fat acceptance people can't or won't distinguish between the stupid and the sensible approaches to the issue.

Commercial weight loss gimmicks, fake healthy foods (processed junk food with fiber, etc.), anorexic fashion models, and so on are stupid and unhealthy. Women's magazines and the stuff they advertise are generally completely screwed up in their approach to weight and health.

On the other hand obesity is a real health epidemic and saying that people should eat on reasonable amounts of healthy food, be active, get exercise, and so on isn't hate speech or being mean to anyone.

Some people get a lot of cavities and some people don't get any, but you aren't being mean to people who are prone to cavities if you say they should be brushing and flossing more. It's just a matter of living a healthier life. People aren't robots - they have choices and should be encouraged to make healthy choices.

The government needs to start throwing some ridiculous tax onto crap food.

Economics is a HUGE problem, here. The cheapest foods are the worst.

I'm not sure more taxes are the answer, but eliminating subsidies/tax breaks for the growth and production of foodstuffs linked to obesity would be a good start.

Seriously. I got more grief for looking "anorexic" or whatever than any of my fat friends did for being fat.
