  • The problem is people always think of the fat/thin issue as obese vs. super skinny or anorexic when in reality there is a lot of healthy variation in between. Meme is not promoting anorexia so these other ladies need to chill and the other lady who lost over 200 pounds is not actually skinny and unhealthy now. She is actually a normal weight and is encouraging others to get healthy as soon as possible before they are faced with health complications.

  • What? Fat is ok just because you are too lazy to get off your fat ass and walk an extra mile or eat a few hundred calories less? Why should I be forced to accept your repulsively sloppy look?

  • @DontForgetIran2010 some people are overweight because thay have to take medications, because their metabolism is really slow. Or thanks to genetics. I know lots of overweight people who eat healthier than all my "mormal sized" and crack skinny friends

  • @lunatheawesomee I don't disagree with that, but we cannot argue that 2/3 of America's population has poor genetics or is taking medication. If we accept that some people are overweight because they are ill, then we have to accept that it is not the norm and that it is not to be expected among the majority of people. However, in america 67% are overweight and 1/3 of us are OBESE!! There is something wrong in the USA because you will not see this trend in other countries.

  • @lunatheawesomee However, arguing that fat is "beautiful" is misleading and dangerous for people who already are fat and at an elevated risk for diabetes, heart disease, and a variety of other obesity-related illnesses. These large women talking make very little sense. This former skinny model is just appealing to a bunch of people who want to be told that the only option to being overweight is being anorexic and so they opt to be overweight.

  • Meme Roth has 2 kids and has an amazing waist-to-hip ratio.I can't help but admire her dedication.Look at her @ 3:10.She has no fat around her midsection and her hip curve out nicely.Fat women have the nerve to call their rolly bodies curvy..yuck! You have repulsively rolly bodies,not curvy bodies.Psss..newsflash..a curve body includes a very narrow fat-free waistline and hips that curve out nicely. Just because you have a big ass relative to your waist,that doesn't make you indefinitely hot.

  • It makes total sense to charge a person who weighs more than a certain amount double the amount a normal person is charged because they WON'T fit into a normal seat. If you are fat and are reading this, too bad for you. Go to Europe, the Middle East, East Asian countries, you wouldn't get all this political correct crap babying for America's fat lazy whiny retards. Fat people have it too easy in the US.

  • @Swizzik they talk about eating disorders as if anorexia and bulemia are the only eating disorders. Realistically, more people are dying from obesity-related illnesses than from anorexia and bulemia. The real eating disorder that is killing most Americans is binge eating or overeating. I am so sorry if that offends a lot of fat, gluttonous ladies reading this who will feel that I am promoting anorexia.

  • @Swizzik The problem is that the FA movement puts obesity and anorexia side by side as if they are the only options that people have.Realistically,if you look around more people are dying from obesity-related illnesses than from anorexia.This country consists of a lot of fat women who want to make it look like the only option they would ever have to being overweight is being anorexic,which gives them a very good excuse to stay as they are and convince us that they are healthy and beautiful.

  • it is ridiculous you can be fat and healthy you don't have do diet just take in a little bit of everything and move around regularly and if "society" has a problem with that then they can go jump off a cliff

  • Of course the dietary advice the govt. and "experts" give isn't helping blaming saturated fat and cholesterol then telling you to eat more crappy lowfat industrial foods and carb high whole grains, eat these whole grains their good for you, why because we paid farmers subsides to produce a lot of this shit and we need to get more people to eat it.

  • Obesity is only an outward symptom of bigger health issues inside, ever notice some people eat all the cake, ice cream, chips, and soda they want and never gain weight does it mean their healthy no and they can get T2 Diabetes just as fast. People like MeMe Roth don't give two shits about obese people's health, she hates that she has to see fat people walking everyday and she wants to stop seeing this so she fights to gets the govt. to pass stupid laws for her own gain.

  • Most obese people don't want to be fat. They have tried countless methods, exercise and might suffer from hypothyroidism and food allergies. It is more complex than eat less, exercise more mentality that us so prevalent.

  • Some woman are denied promotions, pay raises and even jobs because of their obesity. It is honestly a vanity and a classist issue. The boss wants to come to work seeing a "hot" woman every day because he hates his job and wants a more pleasurable reason to come to work. Humans are still animals and we still behave with a social darwinistic mentality.

  • If someone lives an unhealthy lifestyle that doesn't even impair your own health, they do not deserve to be publically harrassed and humiliated by you.

    Also, even if you actually cared about unhealthy people (of all body types) getting healthier, you wouldn't display nothing but hate towards only the obese. That's clearly not helping anyone, or every fat person would fit the socially acceptable norm by now.

  • If it's okay to be fat around me, it should be okay for me to blow cigarette smoke in your face. Seriously America, wake the fuck up. The only people who say it's okay to be fat are fat people

  • @Eighty8percent That analogy made absolutley no sense, are they gonna blow a whopper fart and give you a deadly disease.

  • even if some1 can be healthy and fat, they'll look much better without all that xtra weight

  • Am I the only one who thinks Mirane Kirby is the sexiest one?

  • of course it's not okay. Common sense people for God size!!!

  • I lost a lot of weight, size 12 now and everyone keeps telling me to be a plus size model :p

  • made a five minute video for an answer that we all already know

  • "thin doesnt necessarily healthy". This may be true, but im positive that most of the people that are overweight and obese in America are not healthy. People shouldn't lose weight only for appearance, a big part of it should be for health.

  • Lol the topper.

  • mcdonalds

  • I think fat tollerance is important, but that obese woman is talking about fat acceptance. I can't be forced to accept her lifestyle because I personally don't think fat is beautiful, and I think the evidence shows that being obese isn't healthy. I used to be a little overweight, and I took care of it with diet and excercise, because I didn't want to accept it, I wanted to change

  • If your healthy and excercise than ur fine at any size.. you dont really even need that much to maintain a size..

  • I think that as long as the person is healthy then yes.. but you can not be a healthy 300lb women its just not possible...If your skinny and unhealthy then its not ok...the issue is not people varying in size because everyone is different, the issue is unhealthy....

  • health wise it isn't okay to being fat or too skinny....it's okay to be fat and feel good about yourself and have confidence...i think these media coverage on obesity doesn't help much...

  • just for the fact that its unhealthy means its not ok to be fat

  • @ogbkballa ... it aint ok to be skinny either.

  • 5ft 10 and 120 is dangerously underweight in its self. The model industry needs to be sued.

  • @lesslove4u could you define anorexic please?

  • And that girl is not fucking plus sized lol.

    The world must be joking.

  • It IS okay to be fat. You can be perfectly healthy and fat. If you are panting and sweating when you're going up the stairs, then obviously you are not healthy. People should just not judge anyone unless you monitor their every move. If that's the case then I should say it's not okay to be skinny. Because not all skinny people are healthy either. I think being healthy is important, and I do feel like you can be basically any size and healthy. Not like 3000 pounds, but y'know.

  • Is it ok to be fat? No.

    You become a burden on your friends, family and the government.

    Here's a hint fatties: The cost of obesity and overweight individuals in the US alone is $300 BILLION per year. That's money that comes out of the taxpayers pockets. Put down the fork for my grandchildren's sake.

  • @LuniaVideo I think $300 Billion sounds a bit like an inflated figure, my research has turned up $147 (as stated in the video) for the present; $334 Billion was estimated as the future drain to the healthcare system. Money matters aside, I wholeheartedly concur with your statement.

  • @quietcat161 Regardless of how many millions or billions or decimal places we add, even 1 billion is too much. It's sad that people think living such a dishonorable and gluttonous lifestyle is something not to worry about or, in the worst case, something to flaunt. It's bizarre that we've reached this point.

  • The saddest thing about this story that it focuses on women. Not surprised, just disappointed. The statistic was 2/3 of all Americans, so why aren't we discussing our men. hmmmm....

  • Ridiculous. The problem with the fashion industry promoting a skinny ideal and obesity are two different issues. People aren't saying that obese people should lok like Taylor Swift. Healthy has a broad range of sizes but doesn't include overweight or underweight.

  • crystal renn, looks greaat, but the other fatty is gross.

  • i don't understand people like MeMe. Why is she so up in arms over things that do not affect them?

  • @ginnadas2118

    Maybe because she cares about other people. Also she's seen her family suffer problems from obesity related issues.

  • it's not ok to be fat! it's not ok to be anorectic... "fat is a little healthier than..." WHAT THE DUCK

  • I am not sorry, I don't want to sit next to a an obese person on a plane!

  • Where is the rest of the show?

  • what about just being normal....

  • This woman is not now plus sized, she is actually a normal weight and has some breasts and hips like a normal woman.

  • Ok, I don't like how this is started, it clearly tailored to the fat audience. The opposite of someone that is overweight or obese does not mean it is someone that is an anorexic model. The only options are not fat or anorexic. There is a healthy middle ground.

    Why are all the plus size supporters fat chicks in denial? Really? Is this what America has come too?

    No, that majority of people DO NOT find big as beautiful. No we don't have an obsession with thin, just attractive females.

  • no its not okay to be clinically obese and be loud about it

  • bony is not sexy

  • Crystal Renn is gorgeous and as I said before, anyone with an eating disorder would not want to preach weight or thinness to themselves or others, knowing that that type of thinking is what got them there in the first place.

  • Its not ok to be fat but if you ar average size and eat healthy, exercise regularly then thats fine. I'm a size 10 and I can run circles around my small friends, I feel really healthy, and have loads of energy. So overall health and fitness is whats important not a certain size.

  • Is it OK to be Fat?

    /watch?v=zfbK_dbsCu0&feature=r­elated

  • @20thcentfox MeMe Roth doesn't want to talk about aspartame and MSG and GMOs causing the obesity epidemic.

    MeMe Roth is a Monsanto/aspartame/MSG apologist.

  • @20thcentfox go lose some weight you fat fuck. Being fat is something you can change unlike many other things like disorders. There's really no reason to complain about being mistreated.

  • lol sparkles shoot out of the cupcake

  • I find it hilarious that the fat woman is named "kirby".

  • To all you fat ladies out there, if it makes you feel better and I say this with honesty, even a 800 pound lady with teeth missing looks 8000 times better then an ugly bald headed woman. Bald women [with the exception of chemo patients] look the ugliest out of all groups and categories of people. They look like walking penises with ears and are total freaks and subhuman to say the least. I cannot think of anyone more shameful and with less dignity then a bald headed woman. So be happy fatsoes

  • meme is insane...there are 1,000 problems we all face everyday, i hate when ppl take 1 of them and blow them out of proportion. There are many many dangerous actions we all take that cost us all pain and suffering.

  • well im 13 and weigh 90kg but my blood pressure is fine im fit i ride, run, walk and i think meme is a stupid whore :) and if i get teased i beat the fuckout of them cause they are scared of me

  • @beep388 You're smarter at 13 than all these ignorant so called adults. More ppl need your confidence and not settle for being bullied or kill themselves for not fitting in.

  • Meme has no boobs! If it weren't for her hair, she'd look like a he.
