| What is your opinion on the 'fat acceptance' movement? In my opinion, all it does is promote laziness. I'm fine with people being overweight as long as they are actually trying to get in shape and haven't tricked themselves into believing it's actually healthy to being overweight. The overweight aren't the ones with have to deal with their family member dying because they were 300lb. I'm sure I'm going to piss plenty people off with this, but whatever. |

| "I'm fine with people being overweight as long as they are trying to lose weight" is such a fucky sentence-like, you're only okay with everyone who is currently overweight, trying to lose weight? Or, are you okay with people becoming overweight and then just trying to lose wight immediately after? Either one makes no logical sense. As to your OT, Fat acceptance is rationalizations pure and simple. Deep down they know it too. Of course, instead of being assholes we could try and help but I don't do that shit, I judge the fatties who sit around and do nothing but eat. |

| Fuck I don't know These days I don't even understand how fat people can be fat. Do they just eat all day? I eat nothing but shit lately and I can't gain a single pound. |
 |
| If it raises their self confidence then I'm fine with it, but encouraging people to get/stay overweight is pointless. Should be encouraging them to try to lose weight.. |

| I view it as a plague since it increases load on the medical system that could very easily(compared to surgery) be prevented. If a person cannot exercise, then his diet should be one that will make him become fat in the slowest way possible. Fat, alcohol and smoking in general are things I'll never accept. I don't want to pay the medical bills of people who willingly destroy their bodies. |

| Alright here is all my thoughts on this sort of thing Its not going to be very organized. I don't hate people just because they are overweight or Obese. I dislike it when people that are chubby or slightly over-weight say they are just out of shape and insult overweight people. I think obesity has a lot to do with computers and depression in todays society. The fat movement was originally supposed to like help people see that there is a person behind inside that body its turned into a whole other things. People get together and promote having a body positive life. Ok after you all have got everyone to except that yes your a person and yes you are comfortable in your skin its time to take action! I mean many people really do hate fat people and insult them and this IS a problem.. Thread example http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=128850651 Until the last few hundred years being a little overweight was considered attractive for girls and was a sign of having money. I understand their reasoning they are healthy and just a little overweight but if your at the point where it affects your health then sure respect is deserved but you really need to take action if you want to feel better. So many people are overweight people don't even know what skinny looks like I mean they have a vague idea based on Hollywood. A lot of families look like this People really need to promote a healthy life style at a young age instead of just saying their kids are big boned and such. Fat acceptance is getting more and more normal its not even really an acceptance anymore its just assumed that some people are fat some aren't now. There are people who actually like getting fat and other people that gain weight I mean we have sites like this stufferdb.com Fat acceptance is perfectly fine for people that are slightly over-weight but when your getting obese I mean all your doing is giving yourself pep talk In the end its your body treat it the way you want its hard in the world we live in today to look and feel healthy even most underweight people are skinny-fat. |

| Fat people are similar to people who smoke, they're killing themselves with bad habits and we should stop it but in the end it's their choice to make even if it makes them disgusting and ultimately dead. |
| My cousin is fat as fuck and he has hoes for each day of the month. So I don't really know, I'm leaning towards the idea that this is more for people who are both fat and unlikable. Shitty to say, but oh well. By the way, I'm nearly 300 pounds in mostly muscle lol. |

| I don't hate fat people. They do have a health problem but that is not my concern. If you are a smart fat guy, I will like you. And I like a girl with a phat ass. Skinny girls are gross. |
| idc, free country, eat 400000 cheeseburgers, drink literal acid shakes and take a thousand tokes of any and all drugs you like until you have more boobs than Benicio del Toro in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas if it makes you happy. Someone else's laziness doesn't concern me and it should not concern you unless you have a vested interest in that person getting healthier and if they also have that vested interest. |
| I don't hate fat people and I think the basic idea of the fat acceptance movement – that there is a person inside of that body and that they shouldn't be discriminated based on their weight – is great The problems begin when fat/obese people refuse to acknowledge that overweight is a problem because "muh oppression" and even start to insult thin people Do you see people preaching how good anorexia is except for some weird mags and (indirektast) clothing store posters? You don't So why should we preach obesity when that also is bad? |

| I think people like the OP are misunderstanding the "fat acceptance" movement. In fact, it's not really a fat acceptance movement. Most people probably don't think that this is okay: What they're saying is that overweight people shouldn't be discriminated against or feel ashamed of themselves. Rather, they should love their bodies. That does not mean that they have to accept their bodies. They just shouldn't feel immense pressure to fit a certain body type. This movement is mostly targeted toward those who doesn't have a supermodel figure, who are a bit overweight, and who don't have an hourglass figure or a toned body. They aren't talking about the people in the picture above. |
| I think it's good. I think people who are against it are hilarious clowns who think people have some moral obligation to lose weight. The world doesn't revolve around you. No one has to lose weight so they'll fit your stupid standards of 'health' (Not as simple as thin or fat) or 'beauty'. |

| "fat acceptance", seriously, what is this crap now? it shoud never be accepted, its a embarrassment for our specie, those people should be ashamed of themselves. it is ugly, and one can only wonder about how much waste they must produce to maintain their "status". we should never let it pass, plus, its a hideous sight, its a waste, and they spoil the scenery. instead of "acceptance" we should be focusing on a world wide ban on them, shame them in the streets, state forced detention for weight correction, media campaigns, etc. as specie, fix this crap once and for all, improve ourselves and have respect for the environment. |

| Some overweight people accepted that that's the way they are, no need for them to seek acceptance from other people and just act like just another ordinary person. |

| "it's okay if your fat, you're still beautiful" is the wrong mindset "you're fat so you're a goblin, dorito eating, weeaboo praising, loser of life" is also the wrong mindset 'the fat acceptance movement' is pretty silly. Being fat has numerous health problems, that should be the focus. It's not wrong to say someone should lose some weight to benefit their health. That's a relatively good thing to say, actually, but all fat people already know they are fat but don't change it, because it's hard. |

NudeBear said: mnhhhh most of what i see just seems to be plain irrational hate towards fat people.kawaiiyuris said: i literally couldn't give less of a shit about whether someone is fat or not. leave them alone, somebody else's body and health are none of your business. It kind of is. Obesity (at least in the US) increases the cost of health care. The deterioration of the overall well-being of a population should be a concern to the average citizen. Though I don't condone the level of hostility some people display towards the obese, it doesn't mean that we should ignore or even encourage the problem altogether. It is an illness, so it's only logical that we should encourage people to fight against it. and if you seriously want to fix the costs of healthcare, then the root of the problem isn't even obesity itself, it's nutrition. so i mean, if an average citizen wants to get pissed at something, they should get pissed at the way the food industry works. but honestly, just laying out my opinion here and not looking for a debate because i don't care enough about this issue |

| What is it with ppl's hatred for and obsession with overweight/obese ppl these days? If someone feels confident with their size, who the hell cares? It's their bodies. Yeah, it's unhealthy, but you can't help someone who doesn't wanna be helped. Often said: Man, what is it with these weight threads today? I know this is normal for MAL, but c'mon guys... Ikr. This is the fourth one I've seen this week. Guess ppl feel the need to prioritize the issue above all else. |

| Generally, I think obesity/being overweight should be frowned upon no matter what. However, that doesn't mean you should be an asshat about it and call people out. |
| You don't fool me, OP. I know you dig the chunky monkeys. |

Bernkastel said: A reasonable analogy is if suddenly we had an alcoholic acceptance movement that preached being alcoholics are OK. It's not like fat people or alcoholics deserve derogatory responses thrown at them all the time, but at the same time, it's irresponsible to tell others those are good things. I agree with this wholeheartedly and view education and cheaper healthy food alternatives as being more beneficial as a whole, than calling someone a 'lard ass' or other such things. @OP I view acceptance and tolerance as two different things. What I mean by this, is everyone has certain rights and I can not by means of force and/or intimidation in good conscience make them follow a certain lifestyle. However, that is different than acceptance, as it's an unhealthy lifestyle and one that should and can be addressed, but setting out with a derogatory mindset, doesn't accomplish anything. There's also the argument they put a strain on the medical system and that gives us a right to say w/e we would like because it has a direct impact on society at large. To some extent this is true, however, it's also a very hypocritical stance in most cases, as we all do things that put a burden either on society, the medical system, or the environment. Diabetes and the prevalence of processed foods in the average persons diet being two examples. That is in no way excusing obesity, but rather just highlighting that there are many health related issues that could be circumvented by taking the proper steps via education, more activities for children, cheaper alternatives to processed foods, and in some cases mental health services where needed, etc. I also think we should take a tougher stance on parents with obese children, but that is a very sensitive issue and has to be handled in a proper manner. Not necessarily by taking the children away, but by a service to educate parents on diet and lifestyle changes that can improve the families health. Follow up's would be required of course to ensure expectations are being met, but the child's health should be of utmost importance not only on the macro level but the micro level of family and friends.
