I wonder if the people on fatpeoplehate realize that this is the type of behavior that a lot of them advocate. It's using bullying, teasing ,and ridicule to cause what would be considered behavioral improvements in the eyes of the instigator. That being said, fat is unhealthy and gross and I feel current trends in fashion are too risque.

Agreed. Everyone hear knows I agree.

Yes it is unhealthy and gross but a alot more people need serious help, ie behavior modifications. And other things. That's why I study social sciences as well. I'm interested in the psychological aspect of obesity.

I wasn't dismissing the need for change in people that have health problems. I noticed that obesity is symptom in many people of other health or psychological problems. It's the manner in which this attempt at modifying the behavior of others is carried out that of which i have a problem.
