"is fat shaming wrong" is an open question. "is being fat shameful" is not.

Q: Are there fats in countries with conscription? I can't imagine any amount of Swiss chocolate will keep Hans fat while he rucks the Alps.

No, the genetic diseases that cause obesity are restricted to the US,UK and Mexican populations.

I don't see how any GBS fat thread is making fats feel self loathing. I guess waddling in from places unknown and not clicking on the GBS fat thread would takes too much self control.

But for real, yo. Most people don't grow up understanding the basics of nutrition. They don't know that a g of fat is 9 calories and a g of carbs, protein is 4. They can't even do that math. That's an institutional failure that cannot be blamed on an individual but must be held accountable to society at large.

That simply sara chick is loving disgusting though.

Simply Sara is just as god made her (with a little help from wanda's pasta salad).

I remember fat shaming in the 60s. You had to pay a quarter to peep a real fatty. A dollar if you wanted to throw a tomato at him. That was a bit of money back in those days.

Are we picking and choosing the science we want to believe in based on whether or not it agrees with our worldview?

No. Behavioral science is literally not science. Cherry picking individual studies also isn't scientific because of the severe selection bias involved in paper publication.

In behavioral science it is almost always too expensive to have a proper sample size or to actually repeat studies. And it would be too immoral to actually use the scientific method so it tends to be more data mining than science.

And I'll have you know I'm very nice on and offline. I only give people poo poo on GBS where it's completely consensual. In fact even on GBS I don't go into threads that I know I disagree with just to call people assholes.

Runupon, what is your concern? Is it that the "healthism" woman will stumble across a GBS thread, open it, and be so shamed that it scuttles her imminent return to a healthy weight?

You can, but it very much depends on how you're "pushing back".

I push back on HAES by actually educating people. How do you do it?

rolling my eyes when I read something about it, and making snarky jokes in gbs. it may not be doing any good, but it also doesn't harm anyone besides making you go aggro for three years straight

Okay yeah I'm fat, 5'3 and 250 lbs so not quite obese but a little more weight than I'd like. I'm still fairly healthy and I exercise every day. I'm not saying you can be morbidly obese and being in perfect health but it's not like you'll die at 50 from being a little overweight. Oh no I won't live an extra 3 yrs or whatever, big deal.

that is (e: morbidly) obese my good friend. e: 44.3 BMI. okay, I'm back to thinking this is a troll.
