I'm an American, I was fat, and then I busted my ass and I got in shape. I love this country, but god dammit, these people piss me off. I know this fat acceptance shit isn't just in America, but it shouldn't be anywhere.

Is this what we've come to as a species? Have we forgotten how to work hard?

I think the fat issues discussed in these comments and in this vid show a lot of evolving needs to happen around this subject. Fat is a symptom of a combination of genetics, bad habits, and dreadful nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle, and health problems, etc.. Fat in itself is not the problem. The key to the issue is to address the underlying causes of the obesity problem in the States, not make unfounded assumptions about people who are fat. Prejudice only makes the matter worse.

Why is this such a serious issue. It's just fat people. There is no need for all this hate. It just is what it is. Sure, being excessively overweight is unhealthy (the real killer is diet, and some skinny people have bad diets,too), but does someones girth really affect your life that much?

I'm certain that fat studies will follow the model of women's studies. It will require emotion based journals rather than higher level thinking and logic. it will only look at things from one side and one acceptable point of view. It will not accept any criticism and consider critical thinking to be "fascist" and dismissed without consideration.

Google Fierce Free Thinking Fatties. They are very militant and angry.

Fat Activist? hahahahaha wtf! Why should you be proud of being fat? It comes with health risks, and you miss out on the joys of playing sports. Theres a difference between being big and healthy, and just being plain fat. Being fat should not be supported, but helped towards a solution such as a workout or diet to help lose some pounds
