Study Finds PE Teachers Are Biased Against Fattys

Health and physical education teachers tend to have a strong bias against children who are obese, a new study suggests.
The study evaluated 240 PE trainees and non-PE trainees, and while both appeared to have an anti-fat bias, PE teachers were much more likely to show bias. PE teachers were almost four times as likely to hold negative feelings toward obese children, and almost three times as likely to think obese children were not as smart as other children, as reported by The Sydney Morning Herald.
One third of American children and adolescents are considered overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease and Control Prevention.

The study found that about 30 percent of the teachers evaluated said being obese was “one of the worst things that could happen to a child.”
“In their view it was pretty much worse than dying,” Lynagh added.

I'd like to see the data in her study that supports this statement.

Well no shite, that is kinda literally the point of their job, to help and teach kids the negative aspects of being a fatty.

English teachers have a problem with everybody. As a rule, they're counts.

Fatties should be shunned for their fatness. Earlier they learn that fatness is nothing to be proud of the better. For all of us.

The obvious solution is to punish the teachers, because heaven forbid we ask that the fatties lose some weight

I hate fat asses as well.

Another waste of money. They could have asked me and the researchers could have found a real job.

Growing up a big kid and current fatty, I can say that this is fairly accurate. You just kind of always feel out of place no matter the situation. I wouldn't put any blame on my parents cause I have three brothers who are at a normal weight. Thinking back, I was just a lazy little frick who liked staying inside watching TV and playing video games than going play outside. I HATE when other fat people say that they have tried everything but they are just aren't meant to be skinny. I grew up with that mentality. bullshite. You are lazy. I was lazy. It's that simple. As I got older, I started looking into the "perfect diet" but soon came to realize that there is no such thing. It's as simple as calories in vs. calories out. In January, I started to eat right and cut out all regular soda (still trying to kick Coke Zero for good) and started being more active. I've lost 60 lbs in that time frame and it's almost depressing that I waited this long when it was such an easy fix. I still have a lil ways to go before I'm at a healthy weight, but there are no more excuses. Fat people who make excuses or say that they are happy at that weight are just lying to themselves. No one wants to be an outcast, but not everyone want to do anything to change it.
tl;dr - Article is accurate. Current fatty losing weight and hates fat people who make excuses.

They're really biased against kids that don't dress out.
That pisses them off something crazy.
