Today it's a different story. Johnson, who teaches a course on weight and society at George Washington University, is currently a professor with 25 students of all heights and widths. Her Fat Studies class is one of a handful popping up on campuses across the country, teaching students to think about body size critically, politically, and regularly. But despite such courses' popularity among students, critics worry that such classes emphasize bleeding-heart politics over intellectual rigor.


You are a disgusting fat body!

If you go to the hospital for an MRI and are given a referral to the nearest zoo...that's usually a sign you have officially hit "morbidly obese"


If your only option is to lay on the ambulance floor and leave the stretcher on scene... That's usually a sign too.
