America's hatred of fat hurts obesity fight - Health - Diet and nutrition -

as an obese person who is a big man before i gained weight, don't get the prejudicial treatment to my face. i think i do enough to myself to make up for those who would persecute.

my problem more so started from physical problems with brain tumor and pelvis problems preventing me from exercise and reduced ability to move around. i get dizzy and lose my equilibrium while bending over severe pain after sitting more then a hour do to pelvic misalignment. consequently i gain weight.

i live alone and cook for myself, i tend to buy things easy for me to cook which aren't always the best nutritiously. i'm 63 i started gaining out of control around 56 or 57. the tumor on the left after 1997 partial removal is wrapped around my carotid artery on left side and encroaches on that optic nerve, the right side removal destroyed function of that eye and reduced blood flow to that side of my brain. i've known those in the past that have cracked the fat jokes many who are now heavy themselves.

"The stigmatization of obesity begins in preschool: Children as young as 3 tell scientists studying the phenomenon that overweight people are mean, stupid, ugly and have few friends. It intensifies in adulthood, when substantial numbers of Americans say obese people are self-indulgent, lazy and unable to control their appetites. And it translates into poorer job prospects for the obese compared with their slim peers"


"A new Reuters/Ipsos online poll of 1,143 adults from May 7 to 10 captures some of the prejudicial attitudes. Asked to identify the main cause of the epidemic, 61 percent chose "personal choices about eating and exercising"; 19 percent chose the actions of food manufacturers and the fast-food industry. The poll is accurate to within 3.6 percentage points. Because of the methods used to collect the data, accuracy is measured using a statistical measure called a credibility interval"


hate is hate mostly without legitimate reason just more prejudicial, trying to make the finger pointer feel better about themselves.

the so called pretty people go through more then everyday people. insecurity as to is it them or the look, are they just here for arm candy internally fighting against that which society says is all that and a chicken wing, but what about their inner person the real them does it ever get known or obstructed by the beauty, gee sounds like the obese do we ever get to be known or is the blubber in the way?
