She's a food staff writer. Cause fat? Why must all of their tasks revolve around food?

It's legal to discriminate based on someone's weight in every state except Michigan, suggesting that a person's weight can determine their value in the boardroom.

No shit, Sherlock. Being obese is a choice, and you can definitely make assumptions on someone's work ethic based on their weight.

It'd be like me drawing a Swastika on my forehead and going for a job interview... it's not illegal to discriminate against me for it because it's a choice to put that Swastika there in the first place.

This is what fatties don't understand. Just because they don't do anything about their weight, it doesn't mean they can't.

Shaming worked for smoking, and it's going to work for overeating too.

Fat shaming forces me to inhale cakes as fast as they can make them. I have no choice or power in the matter.

The only choice you have is "chocolate cake or cheese cake?"

Sometimes I don’t even have that choice and I have to eat both.

I had to force myself to read the whole thing. Fatlogic in absolute overdrive. The truth was so close to the writer and yet agonizingly out of reach!

Point 1 - so fat shaming causes cortisol rises in the fatties. They're stressed because they know they are disgusting fucks, but leaving that aside, the writer states that cortisol causes weight gain. Yet a few sentences later, we read that cortisol leads to overeating, binge eating and (therefore) weight gain. Muh hormones

Point 2 - the Harvard report that the writer refers to which apparently debunks willpower as having any relevance to weight gain states that things such as sedentary lifestyles and inflated portion sizes are factors in weight gain. Yeah. You eat too much and move too littlez, you will be a fat fuck. Eat less, move more. Willpower may be required for that if you are a butterbeast.

Point 3 - the doctors are right in their assumptions. Fats are lazy, have poor hygeine, are prone to (self-inflicted) illness and a general burden on the healthcare system.

Anecdotal evidence: I am always stressed, due to several different factors. I'm sure my body produces a shitload of cortisol. When I gain weight, it goes straight to my stomach. But because I maintain a BMI around 20, I still have a flat stomach. Fats are just lazy and will grab onto any excuse they can.

Except...thin people also have cases where their cortisol levels can get high during stressful times. So...bullshit.

I can't believe ''let's pretend obesity isn't linked to health issues'' is now ''social justice'' discourse. We don't have ''flawed beliefs about health and weight'' , we have scientific evidence they're correlated. That some obese people in their 20's don't have health problems yet doesn't debunk medical science. Your doctor is turning your visits into ''a weight loss intervention'' because that's their job, and if you stop going to the doctor because reality hurts your feefees you have only yourself to blame, not ''fatphobia''.
