On an all McDonald's diet you'd need to supplement less than a vegan would.

the perception of childhood obesity a form of child abuse falls under fat shaming and i support it ^_^


It doesn't. It has nothing to do with shaming. However, I agree that child negligence (in the form of neglecting to teach them what healthy food is) needs to be punished.

I think it's more of an ignorance than neglegence in a lot of cases. Obesity rates tend to run in families because the parents are unaware of proper nutrition. Some parents try their best but there's so much misinformation on the internet that they fall for those fad diets which are hard to stick to or can be expensive. Also even if foods "healthy" it still contains calories so the parents can still over feed their children with healthy food causing them to be overweight.

sure it does, fat shaming is whatever fat acceptance advocates claim it is and the stigmatization of obesity in children along with the threat of removing children from parents who don't allow them to eat as they wish is fat shaming to an unprecedented extreme


moving on,

the obsession with thin laptops is being is a form of fat shaming now
perhaps they're worried that thin laptops can cause eating disorders in women by telling them thin is better :o ?

An ad campaign touting a new featherweight laptop from HP is being denounced by some who find its slogan to be a body-shaming insult to anyone who isn’t skinny.

“This kind of advertising promotes fatphobia and negative body image. #ShameOnYouHP,” notes body-image author and activist Virgie Tovar on Instagram, where she has a loyal following of more than 13,600.

To each their own, but when they expect us to act like they are obese it gets very annoying

bioethics agrees fat shaming works - focusing on a greater stigmatization of obesity and getting people to the point of sufficient self hatred to act as motivation to better their lives

People who are overweight, he contends, remain hopelessly unaware of their plight. He references the study finding that Americans, as a whole, aren't aware that they're getting fatter. The obese majority of the public must understand that, "whatever they may think about the power and excess of government, it is inescapable in this case, as much as with national defense."

Callahan makes a case for himself not being that radical: he's only calling for "mild coercion" on the part of the government, in the form of Bloomberg-style bans and taxes, supplemented by what he calls "stigmatization lite." This low-cal, low-hatred version of stigmatization is edgy, just crazy enough to work -- so long as it doesn't lead to outright discrimination.
