MODERATORS
The phase "My body my choice" springs to mind.
Is being fat unhealthy? yes. does it give you the right to decide what another person does with their body? no. "But the corporations are-" yes, I know. but it is entirely possible to campaign for better nutrition standards without treating fat people as subhuman.
I'm not telling anyone they have to force themselves to find fat people attractive or anything, but for gods sake they are still people. and what they do with their body is their business, not yours. That should not take away their right to be human.
It's become an epidemic though, and IMO it's like saying do what you want with your body, do drugs if you want to. Then let corporation market drugs as they wish.
The last part of your comment is a mystery to me. Where exactly did I imply the industry should be allowed to do whatever it wants?
My post isn't about you, it's about "my body my choice" proponents, like you.
