#1865032 What really grinds YOUR gears?

People who don't vaccinate their kids. My little brother got whooping cough last year because some nutjobs were too worried about "autism" to vaccinate their kids before bringing them to his church group and there was an outbreak. Something like six kids got it and that shit lasts for weeks.




#1863871 6 Things I Don’t Understand About The Fat Acceptance Movement

Posted by Inky on 13 May 2015 - 07:48 AM

Fat Acceptance is nothing other than people (specifically it is mostly women but not exclusively) wanting to "turn the tide" on the ideal body type because it's "too much work" to obtain, despite being healthy and what we should all strive for. What pisses me off even more than the "pro-fat" stuff is the "anti-thin" stance so many seem to take. They try to thin-shame people for no reason other than jealousy. It is laziness and greed that drive them to try and say fat is beautiful, plain and simple. People want to be seen as fertility goddesses just because they stuff their faces and don't want to stop.

 

Food can be addictive like anything else. But that doesn't mean we should glorify addictive & unhealthy lifestyles just because they're becoming more & more common. I also don't believe that taxpayer money should be used to give people gastric bypass or similar surgeries because that's not where the problem lies. It's not that their stomach is literally so large they HAVE to eat insane amounts of food. They get that way because of the addiction and that's what should be provided -- nutrition counseling, the same as we offer to people on the other end of the spectrum with eating disorders.
