A Beetoota Advocate satire piece e today reads: Demise of Menulog proves there’s no such thing as ethical food delivery you fat fuck.’ And then (paraphrase) no such thing as ethical food delivery…‘anyone who thought otherwise is, frankly, a fat fuck’. And the comments to my reply are worse. Here’s the thing: Punching down on fat people isn’t funny - it’s hurting a marginalised group. There are a myriad of reasons why people are fat, and in the vast majority of cases, it has nothing to do with being a lazy ‘fat fuck’ who can’t be arsed cooking or going out to get food. Rather, it involves complex issues such as socioeconomic status, food availability (and deserts), chronic illness and disability, mental illness, iatrogenic medicine (eg many medications esp for mental illness cause weight gain), racism, and other intersecting factors. @betootaadvocate can and should be better than this. Good satire is always about punching up, not down 😖 #fat #fatacceptance #fatacceptancemovement #fatactivism #bodyshaming #bodyshamingiswrong #disabilityactivism #bodyneutrality

There has been a growing movement over the years that has done nothing but lie, indoctrinate and trick its followers into believing misinformation. That movement is the Fat Acceptance Movement. They have made numerous untrue claims about being obese. With some of them being that: you can be healthy at any size, being obese carries no health problems, (that some people) simply can’t lose weight, etc.

Not only are these claims untrue, but they can be harmful. As they lead to people not even trying to lose weight or seeking the help of a healthcare professional. Some people who are obese also have an eating disorder, B.E.D (Binge Eating Disorder). By spreading these lies, people who are suffering from these and other issues may never get the help they need. So please, don’t fall for it.
