re: We should promote fat shaming in this country

To be fair, we teach our kids from a young age to not say anything at all if they don't have something nice to say. Most people would immediately scold their children if they said "YOU'RE FAT" to some overweight person in public (regardless of what hardasses on here claim). So it's a fine line.

Doctors, family members, friends, etc. should be honest when someone is fat. But we've all been programmed to be polite and complimentary.

It took a concentrated effort for me to stop going, "Noooooo!" when an overweight friend would complain about being fat.
