"Thin Privilege"..."fat shaming" :mjlol:

[No_bammer_weed]

There is absolutely a genetic component to weight gain or loss --- the variance of individual metabolism is a key regulator. I know several people who never even look at a carb, and work out every week, and forever remain "chubby" because their margin for error is so slim due to their genetics. On the flip side, we all know thin people who eat like sht and never gain a pound (I would fall into this category.

Furthermore, there is something to be said for our modern impossible standard of beauty. Back in the day "thicker" girls like Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, etc were considered beauty standards, with sizes that were far more attainable and reasonable. The 80s ushered in a bony, anorexic standard that is actually quite dangerous. A healthy body with a normal levels of body mass is considered "fat" nowadays. Thats wrong, and Im not mad there is push back against these unhealthy conventions. Remember black people had to fight like hell to get the society at large to accept big butts --- before having a healthy nice ass was considered "fat".

There has never been an epidemic on this scale in developed nations. Yeah some people have been fat, not most people.

Have you seen old photographs of people back in the day? Most of them were chunky

What old photographs bruh? As of now 1/3 Americans are over weight.

Childhood obesity has quadrupled over the past 30 years.

America was the fattest developed country on the planet, and is now only second to Mexico.

There is no comparison to how it USE to be.

its not so much about what they eat but moreso how active they are in their day to day life. If you go to the gym multiple times a week and work out for like 30 minutes and that is your only excersice for the week, and you dont eat right then you are not gonna lose weight. If you only work out once or twice a week and stay active like alot of walking or physical activity on a daily basis that will make up for not going to the gym and your body will be burning calories constantly as opposed to 3 times a week for 30 minutes..

Understood, but that doesnt really challenge my post. The idea is that many, due to factors beyond their control, have to work several times harder than other people who do next to nothing to maintain their body size. This is in conjunction with a beauty standard that is quite impossible, and unhealthy, for some to try to reach. People who are considered chubby are assumed to be lazy, unkempt, stupid, etc when nothing could be further from the truth. If some thin people who feel so proud of themselves were born with a different set of genetic influences, they would be on the outside looking in when it comes to this "thin" party they always throwing for themselves.

If you got some size on you, but you have a medical condition or you're in the gym regularly, then I can't say too much... but if you're huge because you're tearing up mountains of food and sitting around all day, then you need to be shamed. That shaming could save your life.

It takes less time and effort to go to your local park and exercise that it does worrying about and writing essays on the internet about "thin privilege"
