    I say that all the time. People look at an obese person and thinks “that’s disgusting you should be ashamed” and the same person will look at an anorexic peeson and think “oh poor girl hope she can recover from her eating disorder”

    They are both eating disorders!

    Let’s try to go pass our biases and see obesity for what it is, a eating disorder, not with disgust or shame.

    Edit: I would just like to point out to the dumbdumbs that I am overweight and was obese for a while. I am a witness of how bad people will treat you without even knowing your background or problems that took you there. Not everyone is a suitable candidate for bariatric or ozempic, there are lots of different reasons and only a very small portion is caused by lazyness as toxic people like to call it. I am and will always be an avid defender of humans treating humans like humans and not “lazy fucks”.

      The problem is people spent years trying to push a narrative that fat people are beautiful and we all need to love and worship how amazing it is.

      No one ever says that shit about a meth head.

      Majority of the world is overweight. We clearly are not doing enough to make it a negative train in society compared to its accepted or “beauty” status.
