Morally Better”
Important quotes: “eating fish while she was pregnant”: The mercury
levels for newborns need to be low, can cause bug eyes (FDA suggests
that you may safely eat 12 ounces a week), “others readily drew
conclusions about the kind of person she was based solely on what
they believed she ate, and whether they believed her behaviors were
healthy and, by extension, morally acceptable. I didn’t know it at the
time, but I was watching healthism in action”, her describing others

Wouter Kulche: "How is this post different from a chain smoker
claiming that non-smokers see themselves as superior. This is a
misunderstanding on the behalf of the fat pride supporters. Most fit
people do not think that they are superior to obese people. They are
fit because they value their physical health and they find it sad to see
other people destroy their bodies and die younger because of an
unhealthy life style. The non-obese people who think that they are
superior are wrong.”
Hannah Wilson: If fit people were so concerned with my wellbeing,
you’d think they would be a little nicer to me
Wouter Kulche: Hannah Wilson Well, I am fit, very I can arrogantly
say and I am nice to you. So the proof is in the pudding that you are
wrong. How would your response be fair if it came from a meth
addict.
Hannah Wilson: Wouter Kulche Meth addicts are valid people who
deserve kindness too. You don’t seem to understand what nice is.
Also, just because one fit person is nice to me, doesn’t mean they all
are.

"it's harming our health" nope, you're doing it. Obesity is dangerous for health, so
stop saying that there's nothing wrong with it. I'm not against fat people. I'm
against fat people who glorify obesity.
Kayla Fuller
The problems case the fat, not the other way around. The reason why average wait
and waist size is increasing is because of diet-culture. Read Health at Every Size for
more info 🙂

Kacper Kulpa There are no credible studies showing that being fat is unhealthy.
There are, however, a lot of studies funded by the diet industry that shows how
horrible it is. Read “The Obesity Myth” by Paul Campos for the science behind why
obesity is not the killer people think it is.
