Some call it fat acceptance, I call it lazy fat people not wanting to diet.

Sizeism? You must be kidding

Fat people like to complain a lot about how they have to buy two seats on a plane...well why shouldn't they. I pay 20 bucks for extra luggage, your 150 pound overweight body should also have to compensate since that is the size of a normal human.

America and Canada need to do more about fat people. Garnish their wages until they lose weight, make them enter programs, have fat camps, give incentives for them to lose weight. All it does it cost us money for their healthcare, and it makes the country less healthy.

Anyone else feel this way :?

Fat Pride World Wide!

Honestly, I never heard of Fat Pride before...

People are proud of many things, if they are happy fine.

You shouldn't call them "fat"; it's "massively-challenged".

I agree that they shouldn't complain about having to pay for certain things because of they're size because its their body, they have the ability to change themselves so if they are not happy than they should do something so that they are happy. However, some people have mental conditions that makes them eat more than they should so they shouldn't always critized, but I can't see how someone is proud of their size, I can only see someone being proud if they are of healthy size. But I don't know if things should be done to help people lose weight, its their body, they should fix it themselves. Only in certain cases where its a mental cause forcing making them eat should they receive help, but in my opinion it should only be psychiatric help and than when they can move on, then they should work on themselves. EDIT: Also I find it a bit hypocritical how you think the governments of Canda and the USA should be doing more to help them lose weight, but then go onto complain that they cost you on healthcare. Either way you have to pay more?

This movement is just downright disgusting. To be proud in laziness and non-productivity is just sickening. I encourage everyone to find a fat guy and encourage them to lose weight in all deliberate haste.

That's impossible, because not everyone is fat due to over eating and/or lack of exercise. Like all ignorance, people apply a large group of people to one stereotype. If you try to get everyone who's fat to lose weight (through forceful means, as you suggested), it's not very fair to those who have conditions that make it impossible to do so. It would be much more logical (and less dick-ish) to just try to raise awareness of how unhealthy some food is, and to promote exercise and portion control (as many are already doing, i.e., "Supersize Me").

How about they "energize, empower, uplift and celebrate" working out and making an effort to lose that weight?

Don't be so freaking ignorant. This is the same as discriminating against any group. It's like how Jews were/are hated because people assume they are all greedy. Sure, maybe some Jews are greedy, but a lot of them are not, yet they were/are being prosecuted along with the others. Not all overweight people eat more than they should or are lazy. My best friend is about thirty pounds overweight, yet he eats less than me or any other of our friends. He also handles physical activity (like when we airsoft) just as well as anyone I know, too. If a blind person started hanging out with us and (for some reason) kept track of everything we ate and did, he'd NEVER guess that my friend is overweight.

BTW, I don't support "fat pride" either, that's almost as ignorant as the things you are saying.

Being able to *handle* physical activity isn't enough. If you're fat, get outside and walk. Simple and easy.

I don't see your argument I used to be like your friend. I barely at any food yet I was 170 pounds at 5'6. Now I'm 134 pounds at 5'11 Guess how I did it, control and exercise. Real exercise, as in straining myself and not just handling physical activity.

Nothing wrong with having pride in what you are, and I speak as an obese person. Alls I need to do is look at the Manatees, The hippos, and the rest the animals associated with obesity, then I take pride in it because the gentle giants of the animal kingdom are so majestic! :D

With my weight, I could glide underwater like a fish, fat people should have pride! Hell in medieval times obesity was associated with wealth, and nobility. They were looked up to! I think it's coming around again mein, that's right we fat people are taking over. Woot!

Honestly, I wish obese people would just take it upon themselves to get healthier. I don't support garnishing wages or anything like that, I wish people just cared enough to do it themselves. That's what I did when I was getting overweight.

I know you're being sarcastic, but I hate this political correctness where we have to be nice about overweight people's body images. Yet I get people telling me I'm too thin all the time and most of those comments are from fat people >:( I'm a healthy weight so I'll gladly point out their flaws. I also hate people that say they wish they were thin like me, then go eat donuts and scoff at the idea of doing 3 hours of physical exercise a week. Lazy and self indulgent bastards!

People who are fat because of specific medical conditions (thyroid problems, for example) are a miniscule portion of people who are obese. Half a century ago, only a tiny percentage of Americans were overweight or obese. Now more than half of Americans are overweight or obese. It's not like 60% + of the population developed a genetic predisposition to being overweight in the last few decades.

That's BS. It's like saying, "you shouldn't stereotype all prison inmates as criminals...some are innocent". Yes, some have a condiation, but they're in the absolute minority. Oh, and this has nothing to do with ignorance.

It's not fat bashing, just saying that the whole thing about 'big is beautiful' annoys me. 150 lbs overweight means they are over their target weight by 150 pounds.

I was, and still am currently overweight (now just a bit, I'm working on it as you'll see just below). I didn't take any pride in it. Over the last year I've been eating right, exercising, not snacking before bed time, etc, etc, etc, and I've lost a lot of weight. Its amazing when I look at pictures of myself last year compared to now. I'm almost embarrassed I looked like that. Not to mention, attention from ladies = through the roof. I've gotten more "ace" recently than I ever have before (not that I did too bad). Theres nothing but good things that can come about from losing weight and being healthy. Weight is a personal struggle and shouldn't be legislated by the government.

I agree with you there, when I lost the weight I felt so good, got compliments, ladies gave me attention and most importantly I felt really good. I could do a lot of things I could never do before and I was enjoying sports a lot more. I do think though that a lot of people need legislation to help them lose weight.

Just for the record, never berate a fat person if you don't know their situation. They might be in the process of losing weight, and if you berate them it just makes you look like an **** You have to make sure and know if they're attempting to lose weight before you make fun of them. Really, a person being fat does not necessarily tell you anything about what that person knows about nutrition or excercise, nor how they live their life. The only 100% sure thing it tells you is what they knew and how they acted in the past.

As an slightly overweight person myself, I think this is absolutely ridiculous. I say stop crying and go on a treadmill for 5 hours. And while you're at it, burn your crappy food with a torch and eat a banana instead of a freaking twinkie.

As an slightly overweight person myself, I think this is absolutely ridiculous. I say stop crying and go on a treadmill for 5 hours. And while you're at it, burn your crappy food with a torch and eat a banana instead of a freaking twinkie.ghoklebutter
Bananas are good :D

Give fat people a break. I used to be really fat, and it isn't a good feeling. It takes a lot of motivation to and will power to lose weight, something that most you do not understand.
