Fat studies CANNOT be real. Don't link me to some article about how it is real. It doesn't really matter if I'm right or wrong but knowing that people are out there getting degrees in "fat studies" would just ruin my week, so as far as I'm concerned, that's not a thing.

Just because one denies something is real does not make it a figment of your imagination.

This course will provide an introduction to an emerging academic field, Fat Studies. By drawing from historical, cultural and social texts, Fat Studies explores the meaning of fatness within the 7 U.S. and also from comparative global perspectives. In this class you will examine the development of fat stigma and the ways it intersects with gendered, racial, ethnic and class constructions. Not a biomedical study of the “obesity epidemic,” this course instead will interrogate the very vocabulary used to describe our current “crisis.” Finally, you will become familiar with the wide range of activists whose work has challenged fat stigma and developed alternative models of health and beauty.

Witness the death of higher learning, no longer will it be a place to force an expansive of your mindset but a voluntary closing of the offensive open-mindedness in all of America generation by generation. Once the education industry finishes 'enlightening' its personnel to the truth of social justice these values will grow to completely change America. Now that the two-party system works to protect itself bureaucratically from third parties it won't be stoppable.

One subject where fatties will do well and go for the extra credit.

I am aware of the context of this specific show, but it still does not invalidate its parallel to the age we live in.

Don't trip dude the Simpsons is totally relevant to the sub. Hell, there's an episode where Homer gets so fat his apathy nearly results in the entire town being destroyed. God, I love that show.

You know, and the one where Bart washes himself with a rag on a stick.

I'm pretty sure it's was a treehouse of horrors story, where the teachers were eating the students. But fattening up to be eaten or fattening up sure to laziness are close enough.

Cannibalism sounds more moral than gluttony.

It was "Treehouse of Horror V", that specific segment was "Nightmare Cafeteria".
