Fat Prejudice: What do you think?

An incident on the bus from DC got me thinking about the roots and whys of fat prejudice. Feel free to share your experiences!

Fat prejudice is wrong, but common. The whole thing about them fining people in Japan is the exact reason why I am AGAINST universal healthcare. Although hard, people make choices. They have the choice to eat right and exercise. We don't have a choice in our race, but we have a choice whether we eat pizza or a salad. You look amazing. I will video respond about this.I have a lot more to say but not enough characters to express my thoughts.

I think until proved an illness fat prejudice will never go away.

@vitormangraviti There are two main types of eating problems in obese people: quantity and quality. I have a quantity problem. I mentally do not feel when I'm no longer hungry but I do feel when I'm full. I've never had the quality problem, I eat meat, vegetables and fruits mainly but just too much of it. I can tell you that this is because I am unable to feel satisfied. I think the quality problem is caused by the release of dopamine when we eat flavoursome foods and becoming addicted that.

I don't mind "chubby" people. It doesn't even turn me off. But those really fat monsters do get me sick and make me wanna vomit all over their faces. Don't tell me that fat people are sick because it ain't true. There is no fat gene. Never has been. And never will be.

Quit McDonald's and Pizza Hut and you'll see the difference.

Fat prejudice is pervasive in our society. Despite having told a recent man I was dating that I was obese in the past--he laughed, not believing it since I am thin now--dumped me upon seeing a pic of me obese. I definitely could not have controlled this. I was thin most of my life, but I gained while on meds for medical problems after being hit by a car while running (steroids and what-not). I was also severely hypothyroid and a condition that required surgery. Once addressed, thin again.

I love this video. You really touched on some great questions and points. This is the first of your videos that I've seen and I definitely look forward to checking out some of your newer videos. I hope you're still posting! :D

By the way, I totally agree, Fat Prejudice in this country is a huge problem. We as a society need to focus less on pressuring people to be a certain weight and more on pressuring people to eat healthier and exercise more (regardless of size).

Your very pretty, and look nice and healthy with a "glow" about you. I don't know what your saying (cause I have no sound at the moment) but you are super attractive, so be proud and feel lucky!

Yeah I could not agress more, it is socially acceptable to make fun of people or jugde them bases only on their wieght. I hope that one day it will be politically incorrect to make fact jokes because the reality is it is hard to be thin and everybody has different body types. I know for a fact that I eat so much healthier than all my friends and yet, I am one of the biggest girls. It's really hard to live in a society where people view you so much differently if you are fat than if you are thin.
