[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t feel bad OP. Most people would agree with you. [/quote]

+1 I hate seeing obese people in the Target ads. I agree, it's asif we've given up.[/quote]

+2 I’m a 45 year old woman and I at least try to keep a healthy body weight. We shouldn’t celebrate obesity in the guise of inclusion. It’s unhealthy. It’s raises. your cancer risk. It decreases your overall lifespan.[/quote]

I'm OP and this is my point. I am aware that in today's politically correct context I sound like a monster. But I don't behave in a different way towards obese people, I judge them by the content of their character. I would gladly pay higher taxes so that they can have better healthcare (universal healthcare) and I support policies that bring more healthy food choices to food desert communities, and generous leave policies for companies so people aren't overstressed and overmedicated. I want obese people to lose weight and live longer and more fulfilled lives. I don't want their unhealthy bodies to be showcased in a way that is promotional or in a traditionally aspirational context. Especially when you're apparently not allowed to look away. I mean it's one thing if it's a company that makes plus size clothing, or even a clothing company that just has a lot of sizes. I am forced to look at fat women with cellulite dancing in their underwear. There is literally no setting I can turn off on Facebook or instagram or anything else that will block underwear ads or period ads or anything like that. I'm a woman, therefore the internet thinks I need to buy those things. [/quote]

Poor op.  Having to look at people who are fat is such a struggle!  How do you manage?[/quote]

Forgot to add.  No way would you volunteer to pay more taxes![/quote]
