re: We should promote fat shaming in this country

Yeah great idea let's all go around to talking down to people you know nothing about based on a 5 second glance.

Speaking as someone who lost 120 pounds over the last 20 months with still some weight to lose I can tell you it wasn't shaming that made me do it. Also speaking as someone who understands what it actually takes to lose an enormous amount of weight naturally and keep it off isn't as simple as just putting the fork down either.

So go ahead walk up to a guy like me that lifts weights heavily 4 times a week, takes martial arts training, and has more discipline in his little pinky that you have in your whole body. Tell that guy he's a fatty fat fat because he's still working towards his goal weight and you know nothing about him. And hope he isn't having a bad day because if he is, well, you might regret your decision.
