Skinny is the new moral/hard working and all other kind of superiority?

Being fat is not just about your body being larger because that honestly would not look bad. What is so terrible about being obese is that people become misshapen and grotesque. They don't look human instead they look like a gluttonous anthropomorphized pig. There is nothing attractive about a fat person. Nothing.

Being thin obviously isn't compensating for your humongous ego and superiority complex.

Does that make you immoral?

This is entirely opinion, and you surely had major self confidence issues when you were heavier. This is cruel, and I encourage you to realize people are attractive aside from their weight.

I sincerely hope that this person is a troll. If not, I truly pity her.

PS, self-loathing PP: attention from men gets old fast.

I have bounced around weight wise - and I do believe that the food industry and the government are complicit in poisoning us through the food supply. Sugar is in everything rocketing insulin levels. The food pyramid is completely inverted from what was promoted in the 60's and 70's. Back in the 80's the government and science decreed that fat was making us fat so they proceeded to replace fat with sugar, sugar and chemicals. Add in strapped for time working families (which equals stress, which equal cortisol which equals the propensity to gain weight) and voila! an obesity epidemic that only big pharma can solve. That said, exercise and eating from the edges of the supermarket do a great deal to combat over processed convenience food. The key is having the time and not being stressed and rushed where it's easy to just jam down a big mac. So yes it is societal, but it is also individual choices made inch by inch or bite by bite. You choose what to put into your mouth. You choose to sit and watch Netflix instead of going to an exercise class.

And remember there is no money in cures! Be fat, be addicted to our food, get sick. We've got a pill for that.

+1 This is so much of the problem in modern society. As someone who grew up in the 60's/70's we never saw the health problems we are seeing now, mental health and our children's educational/health problems too. It's so sad. Big food and big pharma are at the root of this. And now diet wars (vegan vs. keto or meat eaters for one example) are sometimes giving people health issues too. Eating real food has to be promoted more.

And I'm saying that as someone who has a huge family history of Type 2 diabetes and really benefits from low carb health wise, but it's not for everyone.

Being average or overweight is no more moral failing than being poor is. Sure some poor people got that way through poor choices, but probably not all or even most of them. Sure some fat people made bad choices and make too many excuses - but most people are just working against their genes and environment.

Agree totally and I've been thin and I've been fat.

Not only is it a moral superiority, but it is also a way to claim to be a better mom, better cook, better lover, better worker, having your own canning production, your own bread-making skills, having 7 hours to shop as you have to read yogurt labels, drive to Nick's organic farm to get free-range eggs, go to every farmer's market if you have failed to have your own farm and chickens to raise and make your own jam and canned veggies and free-range livestock.

Rather than call out the food industry here for being what it is, an appalling aberration akin to a chemical plant, dcum people have chosen to blame other women and moms. It is not getting older and having hormones go haywire. It is not about having enough time to cook and serve fresh veggies. It is not about being tired and wanting ice cream and just being human. Nope, according to some on dcum, it is an utter failure at any age, and it is your own, not anybody else's, even though 2/3 of the population is overweight. It is a simple way for those to feel morally superior. If they ever admitted that it might not all be their genetics, upbringing, luck in having such choices, or having the time to research all of it, they would admit they are no better than the other in population. What do they have if they admit they are not better than the overweight ones? Nothing but luck or an eating disorder!
It never ends, mom and women shaming by other women.

Rant over. BTW, flame away judgmental "you are to blame" skinnies!

I’m thin and I don’t do any of these things. I do read food labels (it certainly doesn’t take 7 hours) and make good food choices.

This. You are really making heathy eating much more complicated than it is. Just buy real food. Cook it. Don’t over eat. Stop the snacking. Move. It doesn’t need to be grass-fed free range organic, etc. My son’s favorite quick dinner when we “don’t have anything” is a can of chick peas, rinsed and warmed in microwave, topped with chopped lemons, olive oil, salt, and cumin. This makes less time and effort from me than making a box of Kraft mac and cheese. It isn’t the food industry. You have so so many options. If you don’t want to read labels, don’t. Buy produce and fresh meat and stick with mostly that. It isnt “hidden” sugar making people fat. It is people over eating all kinds of food that is obvious garbage- we all know what these things are. It isn’t the wheat bread, the yogurt, the salsa..

Please. I eat whatever I want. I love carbs and eat a ton. Just finished two English muffins with butter and jelly. Seriously thinking about eating another one. I also ran six miles this morning and taught a 60 minute hot yoga class. I work out hard. That allows me to fuel my body in delicious ways. I couldn’t be overweight if I tried because I move my body all day long.

Self-discipline. Consistent training. Respect for your body. And not taking more than your share of resources. These are the things fat people don’t understand. I’ve been a trainer for almost 30 years. I’ve heard every excuse in the world. They are all just that…excuses.

The saddest thing is when kids, teens and young people fat. This is their age to be very active, have a great metabolism, have friends, be interested in the opposite sex and have fun. Instead they are trapped in their bodies. A prison of their own making.

How about be a normal weight? Not fat and not thin?

+2 In the same boat. And I'm an adult with agency who absolutely knows when I'm making health-positive choices and when I'm not. Tired of "victims" blaming everyone else but themselves. Are you forced at gunpoint to buy unhealthy processed foods at the store? To sit and watch tv for hours rather than take a walk? I guess it is tough to get away from moral judgments in the end.
