Has anyone posted that super-sincere serious post yet about how rice and beans and poached chicken are the magic ingredients to a life of blissful non-fattyness? Because it's me, I'm that poster.

You made a point that cruelty never solves anything and I merely reminded you that it solves every major problem in your life. Sorry your myopic understanding of the world makes you look dumb when you talk.

Actually no, it does the exact opposite. There's scientific evidence there to suggest that the whole HAES, "fat is beautiful" insanity is a direct result of the rise of fat shaming combined with the ease of creating self-destructive hugboxes via the internet.

A DQ large blizzard can have up to 1500 calories and people will it after eating the 2500 calorie meal. This will happen 2 or 3 times a week in some cases

Goons expend a lot of air talking about eating habits and creating calorie deficits. They also beat the same strawman about misconceptions about metabolism. But what is much bigger than that is the cultural impact of weight in our society.

Women in particular are far more likely to be obese the poorer they are. Women also get far more poo poo for being fat in the first place, much of it undeserved; a person's self-worth shouldn't be tied to their waist measurement. Girls are growing up in an environment where the number on the scale suggests their own desirability, and if they don't fit that arbitrary and narrow definition then they're worthless. You've got girls as young as ten or younger obsessing about losing weight not because they're overweight by any stretch but because they've convinced themselves that just being yourself isn't enough in society, you have to conform to some arbitrary standard. You've got toxic parents with horrible eating habits and control issues themselves telling these girls 'clean your plate' but simultaneously judging them for their weight. So these girls grow up to be women with an extremely dysfunctional relationship to food and beauty. If they felt like growing up they couldn't meet all these crazy standards, then as adults it isn't going to be easy for them to convince themselves they can make healthy and positive changes in their life.

HAES people are delusional of course but their attitude didn't just spring out of nowhere. It was spawned from a culture that defines beauty fairly narrowly; much like how a person of color might reject beauty standards based on anglo features, a person that is a size 14 will reject beauty standards based on a size 0.

We need to treat food addiction like drug addiction. It is hard, of course, since we need food to live. But I see the same patterns in both categories- addicts that hide their stash from people that would judge them, lying to others/themselves about the depth of their problem, using the substance/food as a source of comfort, and surrounding themselves with enablers. A lot of people have told me that treating drug addiction like a moral problem is a big mistake we've made in the war on drugs, if we treated these problems more like psychological problems we could probably make far more inroads in managing them.

Tying their self-worth to weight doesn't motivate them to do something about it. When people are happy and self-confident they will take feedback much better than when they are depressed and delusional. Obesity is most definitely a class signifier especially when it comes to women and that in turn is a way for people to judge them on their worth. As is women are already under a disproportionate amount of scrutiny on their appearance, and it is far, far more cultural than .

Fat people don't like how fat people look. No amount of delusion will bypass that fact. Disgust at excess bodyfat transcends all cultures and periods of time, maybe you should consider what that means rather than taking offense on behalf of all the little girls.

We make fun of austism/MRAs/Bronies/whatever else that all stem from people with severe mental issues. We constantly poo poo on the people in TCC. I know we've made fun of poor & rich people I just can't think of a specific instance.
