Bottom Line: Skinny≠Healthy

Too many morons out there refuse to accept this, and until they do there will still be lots of "lose weight now, people, or you're gonna die!" type propaganda.

:(

You speak the truth. Some people are just so vicious about it.

rednihilist October 21 2009, 04:49:57 UTC

And it's also my theory that those vicious people are cast in the same mold as anti-gay marriage/anti-whatever private issue you wanna pick.

What's that line from Anita Blake? We dislike in others what we hate most in ourselves.

Mark my words, it's the Former Fatties. *nods*

Well, it's the former fatties, but it's also the people who aren't but have internalized this terror of being fat. People who have such body distortion that they can actually believe that 'fat' applies to them when they aren't even in the overweight category, and might even be underweight. "We dislike in others what we hate most in ourselves" -- Dead on, man.

Have a fangirl Barbie. :D

My mom says lots of fatphobic stuff and I have to remind her all the time that skinny is NOT shorthand for "in good health ( ... )

There was a lady talking about the weight vs. health argument (in relation to healthcare) on The Colbert Report. She was on the smart side of the argument, btw, so yay for getting it out there more!

Also, if I were omnipotent, I would paint your skinny bitch coworker with stretch marks. The really icky ones.

(Off topic) Wow!! Mr. Shuester (sp?) can bust a move!

ladydreamer October 22 2009, 01:24:32 UTC

Yeah, it's getting a lot of attention right now in the media. I didn't see that one, but a lot of the news folk are like wtfbbq, let me try to sound unbiased and not like a tool.

Holy GOD, your icon.

I really kind of wish Mr. Shue wouldn't bust a move, even if he can. He's like a B-boy, isn't he?

xenachakram12 October 22 2009, 06:22:50 UTC

My icons make me happy in my pants.

I was pretty impressed w/ Shue, actually... even though he can be really annoying. The whole ep though??? So much love!!! Rachel/Puck? Sue's zoot suit?? Quinn in regular people clothes??? Kurt taking it in the face???? winwinwinwin

ladydreamer October 22 2009, 17:19:05 UTC

Sue's zoot suit is something she should wear regularly. And I'm sad that after one ep, they seem to be cutting off the Rachel/Puck, because as annoying as I find her, with them together, it makes me like her. Call me crazycakes.

Kurt taking it in the face????
I am disappointed in myself for not taking it that way. Lol!
