Yeah, me too. At first, I thought it was a condition where the patients can't remember that he/she is a fat arse.

Fatmisia.

Fatmisia is a systematized discrimination that's based on the belief that thinness is superior. It's prevalent in many aspects of society, especially among fat people who have internalized it.

Some say that fatmisia is more focused on the hatred and bigotry of anti-fat attitudes than fatphobia, but it can be less intuitive and may require some defining with each use.

Processed foods = bad. There are not good “lean” “healthy” processed food meals.

Man made sugar = bad

Meats and organic fruits and veggies = good.

Carbonated and sugary drinks = bad

Moving more = good

Exercise = good

Seems like a pretty easy class to teach

The best term I've ever seen for a fat woman was "graciously endowed."

I couldn't find the website. Google gave me some gibberish sites plus BBW porn.

This site was for a BBW advocate.

Remember, this is just the intro class. There’s so much more to learn in the 4000 level Fat Studies.

Intro to Fat Studies: Fatness, Blackness and their Intersections
I can summarize this pretty well.

Fatness and blackness are interlinked since obesity, especially in females was deemed as a combination of wealth and fertility.

It is now proliferated, resulting in an epidemic with significant health implications resulting in shorter life spans, more comorbidities, and a reduction in quality of life.

The only reason it has not been addressed is because stubbornness and the refusal by society at large to criticize the US population.

I just saved every student tuition.
