Fat shaming needs to stop.

[PhillyBirds215]

shaming - a deflection tactic used by those who fit the bill. They don't want to admit to what they're being accused of, so they'll flip the script and accuse you of bashing, attacking etc.







Obesity is a problem. If you know someone who's obese and you're ok with it, you're an enabler who couldn't possibly give a fukk about that person's health.

nah, they know. they just DGAF. i give a pass to kids being raised by aint shyt parents but if you 20-21 living off little ceazars and hood Chinese go kill yourself.

Lol nah bro. They really don't know. I watch people eat all day. Every salad is a ceasar salad with ranch dressing. That's not even healthy. That's disgusting.

Kale is beautiful but people use it as substitute for lettuce rather than get the best out of it. Kale aint even new and i think my community just got on it.

People eat meat in everything. Dairy in everything. White rice. Mayo. Cheddar cheese or jack. White or wheat.



Breh there are over 20 kinds of tomatoes and the average person eats like three. Do you know how cheap and easy it is to grow a fukking tomato? Do you know how many things you can make with a fukking tomato? My garden is popping off right now.

All I'm saying is give people a break player. If they knew more about food and nutrition earlier in their life they'd probably be healthier. And health is mental and emotional too.

I don't think most people understand this aspect if they've never been overweight.

I didn't get this way overnight and I've not been fat my whole life.

In the past 10 years I've had a series of events that started a chain reaction of emotional eating.

I could I lose weight and be healthier yes I can and yes I have and kept it off for several years.

I think weight loss has to start with fixing a person's emotional health. Because once they've gotten to the root of why they are overweight and why they want to lose weight emotional healing can began and help them lose weight and keep it off for good.

True. We finally have easy access to information. It'll take time for us to change our habits. You're right people do still feed their kids processed foods and eat them too. But we have a culture of eating shyt foods, especially the poor and working class.

Again, once processed foods are introduced into the diet the body will crave them. I'm glad you see the relationship that access to education and nutrition have. You also noticed that some parents encourage bad eating habits in their kids.

That gives me hope. The problem is clear to us and as you said the solution is in our pocket.

But we still need to address the psychological and emotional aspect of obesity. I believe it's a major factor. When the world shyts on you everyday it's hard to get motivated to change.

The fat shaming should hurt their feelings to the point where they decide to change their life. I remember my senior year we had this morbidly obese chick in our senior class, that when graduation practice came around she couldn't even practice with us. She didn't get to walk the grass with us for graduation. It was funny, we laughed at her and shyt, but very sad at the same time. If that didn't light the fire under her ass to shred some pounds, (it didn't, she's still obese) then I don't know what will

 

[ezrathegreat]

Right after we stop shaming men for being short or broke.

shyt is foul man. Some people weren't introduced to nutrition until their 20s. I say this because I think BW often can be swept into the fat category because of their curvaceous bodies.

Obesity is also a trend in the AA community. I'm not saying we have to worship or praise fat people, but we shouldn't make them feel guilty for something that may not be their fault.

I'm a cook. I cook in a black community. I've noticed my people eat like shyt. I used to as well because I was raised in the hood. Our eating habits are developed as children. Single parent households may feature fast food once a week as a meal option.

People eat what they can afford. my healthy Bros and Sisters usually have educated themselves about nutrition independently or with school. I don't think they're strangers to processed foods which are addictive. This myth that black people are fat because we only eat soul food is dangerous. It's cheap processed foods that's the culprit. Soul food served in fair serving sizes would be great for you.

When we equate obesity with being unattractive we're not helping. People eat their feelings. Low self esteem can cause over eating. So can depression and anxiety. If you think about it when we insult them we're enabling them.

One day our community will figure out how to make health food a staple in our diet. Until then we have to stop hating and those of us who know should teach.

Some girls are bigger than others. Some girls' mothers are bigger than other girls' mothers.

Unhealthy food is cheaper and it taste better

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

People are too sensitive, fat shaming, slut shaming, blah, blah, blah.

Good luck telling a single mother of 3 to make her kids share a Cobb salad with low fat dressing over all them getting 2 mcdoubles each.

Both of you are right

Fat shaming isn't a solution

Honestly, just watch what you eat and exercise. Nobody's ever going to have an ultra thin/lean figure unless genetics permit so.

Me, I just run and lift as much as I can. I won't ever be skinny but I'm not going to allow myself to be overweight or obese.

Exactly

Until these people screaming nutrition over everything can come up with alternatives to fast food and processed food price and taste wise

Uneducated and poor people will never have a healthier diet
