[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least people are kinder now. In the early 2000s, cruelty about weight was horrific. There’s never any need for that.  [/quote]

Meh, I think there is.

Fat kids in the 70s and 80s got teased relentlessly. I was one of those kids. It made me want to work to get skinny. The teasing was motivation.

My niece is fat and there's nothing to motivate her to lose weight. If a doctor even brings it up, she and her friends will put that doctor on blast on social media. People are now selling "don't weigh me unless medically necessary" cards to hand out to doctors. She shakes her ass on TikTok with all kinds of hashtags about her beauty and body positivity. Sorry, no, there's nothing positive about being 350lbs except the fact that you're probably not going to get kidnaped or sex trafficked. She has terrible knee issues, gets winded walking through a grocery store, doesn't fit in most restaurant booths, and is diabetic... none of those are positives.

There needs to be some degree of bullying to toughen people up and act as motivation to change. [/quote]

Exhibit 1 why obesogenic industries are laughing their way to the bank. With people like PP around, they don't even need to pay their lobbyists. PP does their dirty work for them.[/quote]

What is an obesogenic industry?[/quote]
